Their artistic adventure together began during the difficult days of the pandemic, when creativity and resiliency were most required. They were partners in life as well as on stage.

In the midst of change and expectation, the duo's harmonic partnership blossomed, incorporating the delight of fresh life into their music itself. Ben and Erika's sound is intimate and captivating, demonstrating the power of their union, but they also create a lighthearted and enjoyable environment.
