Biography[edit]

The duo were born in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles.[1] They displayed an early interest and aptitude for music, and were home-schooled.[2] In 2013, they auditioned for Season 8 of America's Got Talent, and progressed until being eliminated in the quarterfinals. Two years later they, along with several others, formed a group called The Heirs. They played in the 2016 Vans Warped Tour, but the group disbanded in 2017. The duo, along with Brennan Benko, drummer of The Heirs, split off to create Between Friends in 2017.[3] Benko is no longer a member of the group. Between Friends are especially known for their 2018 hit single "affection",[4] which has more than 192 million streams on Spotify as of May 2024. Their style has been self-described as "laptop-dream pop".[5]

On August 25, 2023, Between Friends released their debut album, "I Love My Girl, She's My Boy",[6] which they describe as "14 different relationship scenarios" and "one big therapy session".[7][8] The album includes features from Teezo Touchdown and EDEN. In March 2024 it was announced that they would support Conan Gray on the Europe leg of his tour Found Heaven On Tour.[9]
