We're a brand new duo making disco/funk/soul/RnB/synthpop inspired pop anthems (occasionally beverage themed). We first met at university but it wasn't until 10 years later that a random online collaboration led to what would later become our debut single 'Kick Start'. From there we started a band and got to work refining the recipe, mixing tasty bass notes, tangy harmonies and syrupy vocals, before adding some invigorating fizz for delicious and refreshing pop we hope everyone will enjoy.

Our influences include Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Calvin Harris, Tame Impala, MGMT, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar and many more.
