The band has been influenced by many of the 1990s great rock bands, such as Matchbox 20, Counting Crows, and Third Eye Blind. Sequoyah has their folk influence from the band Old Crow Medicine Show, famous for their cover of "Wagon Wheel". The band has developed their own unique style that combines the rock influences with the folk influences to become a hard-to-define genre of music.

Sequoyah Prep School went on an 8-month break in 2010. During this time, the band looked back on a “life of sin” and said that they have now “entered the darkness and can no longer return” and have begun to dissociate themselves with the music produced when they were called Sequoyah Prep School.
