After graduating from high school, Paulino and Collins shared an apartment in Burlington, where they began recording and producing music full-time collectively. [6] Hoh and Segar-Reid grew up together in Burlington. After discovering they lived near one another, Paulino contacted Hoh about a collaborative opportunity using SoundCloud and formed a group. Calhoun Rawlings, then a Brother in law to Caleb Hoh (Samba,) married Hoh's Older Sister; would later befriend and manage the group as they booked shows and had friends in common. It is noted that around the time the group was formed the South End of Burlington Vermont despite Urban Renewal and upheaval, was a hotbed for the arts and Indie music.
