Years of War is a Brooklyn-based husband and wife electronic music duo composed of Rico and Michelle Caruso. After a decade as Rico & Miella, collaborating with artists such as Seven Lions, MitiS, and Feenixpawl, embarking on national tours, and being featured on MTV as well as premier satellite radio stations, the duo decided to close that chapter of their music career.

Years of War marks a new beginning for the duo, enabling them to explore their artistic selves without compromising their vision. Their sound is darker and heavier than their previous work, with a renewed focus on lyricism that they felt compelled to subdue in their earlier project. With all their energy directed inwards, the two aim to infuse more of themselves into their music rather than chasing a hit. By not only acting as musicians, producers, and vocalists but also serving as their own photographers, cinematographers, and designers, the two are taking a holistic approach to their project.

Their debut single, “Gave up My Own Name,” was released on Subsidia Records shortly before their festival debut at Bass Canyon. The coming year will bring more releases and an ever-expanding body of visual content, further enriching their story.

I had my first introduction to electronic music with the release of Odesza's album "In Return" in 2014. I was instantly obsessed, and since then I have always had a passion for edm. During my senior year of high school (2017-2018) Illenium's album "Awake" was released, and it completely changed my perspective of what electronic music could be. The vocals, production, and emotion of those tracks were unlike anything I had ever heard. That album got me through some very hard times, and I wanted to do the same for someone else through music. Towards the end of senior year I downloaded Ableton (a popular program for music production). I was incredibly overwhelmed. I had no prior musical knowledge or experience, and Ableton is extremely difficult to jump into. I learned quickly that it takes a tremendous amount of knowledge, creativity, and hard work to produce music. This was a discouraging revelation. Every few months I would sit down, produce a terrible track, close my laptop and move on thinking "this just isn't for me". Then around December of freshman year of college, a switch flipped in my mind. I decided that I was not going to stop until I learned music production. That was about six years ago, and I'm still working hard to produce music with emotion, something people can connect with. I truly believe that no heart makes dreams work and time can't match.

Doing this because I love it. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening.
