Career

Cat & Calmell released "Get Old" in June 2021. The single was their fourth from their debut EP, Life of Mine. [3] The duo said the EP "encapsulates a time in our lives that was full of a lot of excitement, but also a lot of uncertainty. It's such a time-stamp of our slightly younger and slightly more reckless days. A lot of the songs on this EP were written awhile back, so it's nice to see where we were and where we came from both in terms of our music and our headspace back then." [3]

On 29 September 2023, the duo released the mini album, How Do You Feel? [4]
