The Dead Lighters duo have known each other since they were young growing up in Lewis Center, OH. The two started producing and writing songs in their freshman year dorm room at the University of Dayton in 2019. ​ Michael and Jordan, performing as "Anthony Phloyd" and "jrdn!" respectively, wrote and recorded their first album RUCKUS in 2022. Since then, both artists have released solo projects and 2 Dead Lighters EPs. ​ In August of 2023 the duo performed live for the first time in Columbus as a part of the TRADEMARKED show lineup at Double Happiness. ​ In the near future you can expect new music from this duo both in the form of a new album (11/18/24) and in a short film scored by Dead Lighters (release date TBA).
