Mercedes the Virus emerged on the global music scene when Phlake released the single ‘Waited All Summer’ back in 2018. Later came the radio hit 'Baby Steps' - again in collaboration with Phlake. In February 2020, at the Danish award show Zulu Awards, the audience got the first physical glance of Mercedes the Virus, when she performed live on stage with Phlake on their single ‘Slip Away’. The hype increased even more on who this mystery persona was. The musical romance between Phlake and Mercedes The Virus is now culminating with the brand new collaboration album T.I.D.O.Y.S. - The Illegal Download of Your Soul, where Mercedes the Virus is featured on all tracks.
