The band have also battled various issues from Tourette’s and autism to ADHD, and bullying.

They count celebrities including Helen Flanagan, Neil Jones, Forest Blakk, Emeli Sande, Emily Shak, Jane Park, and Nicola Sturgeon amongst their followers.

Their debut song Summer Feelings is a catchy summer pop anthem in collaboration with Kygo’s producer.

Their video was shot at Scotland’s scenic Ayr Beach, doubling for Ibiza!
