We didn't know it at first, but we come from a musical lineage. Our parents didn't play music, but our grandparents on our dad's side did. For a short period and at a young age, we received piano lessons from our psychotic grandmother, Juanita. 

​

We went to church almost every Sunday and Wednesday until we aged into double-digits. Service was accompanied by the church organist playing songs from the Baptist Hymnal, and a love for traditional gospel music grew from these years sitting in church pews.

​

Colby started playing guitar in middle school, and played in a couple of bands throughout high school. We recorded a simple song in 2013 called "Just Me and You."

​

When he graduated high school, Colby moved to Tennessee and learned audio engineering at a trade school there.

Haley picked the piano back up in 2017 and began to write melodies for some of the poems she had written. After a tumultuous early adulthood, we moved in together in the Southside of Richmond. In the spring of 2018, we began setting up microphones and recording music together. Those sessions slowly spun into what became our first record, "50¢ Songs."
