During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, they were able to share their interest in music production. They eventually joined forces as the duo Bl3ss and initially began producing music together over the internet because of the COVID restrictions. When the restrictions ended, they began DJing at house parties. They then performed in clubs and at festivals. [1]

In 2024, Bl3ss released the song Kisses together with CamrinWatsin feat. bbyclose, which went viral and earned them a chart position in the German and British singles charts. In the British charts, it reached the top 10 at number 5 and was a hot candidate for Song of the Summer, [2] but then only ranked at number 25. [3] The song was also played at Tomorrowland. [4]
