M.G.M Learned how to play the piano, and I was writing poetry song lyrics in french very early in our lives. Music is that universal language that resonates in all of us, but we only recently started to get into the music industry after realising that we want to do this for life in 2018.

How would you describe your latest single?

Our latest single, “I Tried,” is dancy, which makes it suitable for dancing because it brings out the summer energy. The lyrics vibe is sad, depressed, or angry. We’ll leave the listener to choose which one it is for them emotionally.

When can fans expect the visuals for the single?

As an upcoming independent duo, it is tough to give an exact date for when we will have a visual for our singles. We would love to, but we are short of resources and in love with every track we released. We are constantly releasing tracks, and once we realize which single the world loves the most, we will do it. We leave it for the crowd to choose which one they want to see a visual for.

How do you go about writing a song and what is your process?
