IYES were formed in 2013. Their music had been previously featured on Pitchfork, The Guardian, Nylon, Hunger Mag and more. 
 The artist blew up in the blogosphere when releasing demos online in 2013 alongside female singer-songwriter Melis, and had creatively worked with MNEK, Astronomyy and Lexxx amongst others. 
 After a short stint with Sony UK after being selected for a worldwide TV campaign for both Sony Xperia Z3 Phone and Walls/Unilever, and after a handful of single and EP releases, including a Billboard Dance Chart #1 with 'This Feeling' with Ryan Riback, the duo decided to focus on their solo projects.
