Origin

Bryce Savage (born Brandon Christopher Horth [4] [5] ) and Cameron Wales first met in high school when they were 15 years old. [6] At that time, they were involved in a punk rock band. [7] [8] Thereafter, both exited the band and started making their own music. [6] However, this was not yet the creation of NEFFEX. [7] After high school, Wales moved to Los Angeles, but kept in touch with Savage during college. [6] When Savage was in the last year of college, he talked to Wales and they noticed both were making music in their free time. [6] After college, they got together again, in Orange County, and created the name "NEFFEX" and the fox symbol. [7] [6] On his YouTube channel Savage exclaimed that the fox symbol was not the original intention, instead, he wanted to make something that was easy to replicate similar to the infamous "cool S" style, hence why it consists of three triangles.

Timeline

In 2017, the duo set up a challenge to release 100 songs in 100 weeks. [9] [10] All songs released for this challenge are royalty-free and resulted in a combined 2+ billion independent streams across platforms. [8]

On October 16, 2019, they released their first EP titled Q203, named after the apartment where they recorded their first songs. [9] [11] [10] The album has six songs: When I Was Young, Without You, It's My Life, Sunday, Primal, and Want Me. [12] [13] [14] Shortly after, they embarked on their first tour, doing 13 cities across Europe throughout October/November of 2019.

On September 25, 2020, they released their debut album titled "New Beginnings" featuring ROZES, Jez Dior, and MASN.

On July 6, 2021, they mutually decided to part ways as Wales wanted to focus on a solo project, while Savage would continue with NEFFEX. [15]

On July 7, 2021, Savage set up a challenge to release 100 songs in 100 weeks again and same as before, all songs released for this challenge are royalty-free. [8]
