Career
editPrior to the duo formation, Andrews and Groenwald had long been known for their personal musical projects, with Andrews as a founding member of The Everybodyfields and Groenwald as a collaborator with various artists like John Mayer and The Civil Wars.[3]
The duo met through their respective publishers in 2014 and have been called the “songwriting blind date that paid off.”[1] Although the union was created a few years later, their first writing session proved fruitful when “What’s Your Hurry” was written. That same song eventually landed on Hush Kids, their self-titled debut album, four years later. Groenwald told Billboard, “Jill was the one who said, 'and we should start a band!' I felt like I couldn't say no, because she clearly has a lot going on and it's her idea to do this. I had to say yes.”[1]
