Background Story
It all started whilst in high school, when the band won the Swedish version of the Emergenza Festival, the world's largest competition for unsigned bands. This led to being invited to perform at the INmusic Festival in Croatia as well as the Live@Heart Showcase Festival in 2016, where they were signed on the spot to a Swedish indie label. The band later that year also released their first official single, Fire.
Between 2017 and 2019 the band has toured internationally performing at major events such as the world’s largest festival, Summerfest in the USA, Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, Canadian Music Week, TIMM Festival in Tokyo and the Mondo Festival in New York City. The band has also had the pleasure of opening for Usher at an event organized by SXSW during the Swedish leg of his tour, playing at Whelan’s in Dublin during the YouBloom Festival, as well as gracing the TEDx stage in Stockholm.
Other than touring, the band managed to release 8 additional singles, most of which were featured on popular Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday and Made in Sweden.
2020 forced the band to think outside the box and evaluate the direction of their musical path. The band decided to redefine their sound and independently write and produce their own music, and also rebuild the team surrounding the band. Furthermore, they embraced live streaming and hosted live stream concerts as well as virtually performing at festivals.
The band is currently based at Tambourine Studios in Malmö, where they are currently working on new music together with talented young producers such as Simon Peyron and Lucas Gullbing.
