History[]

Formation, signing with Interscope and Dancing on the Sun (2014–2017)[]

The group consists of vocalist and keyboardist Ruby Carr, who is from South Africa and was raised in Kenya; vocalist and bassist Natalia Panzarella, from Nashville, Tennessee and raised in Los Angeles. They met at a production team in Rock Mafia's studio while working in each member's individual projects. The girls met and started making music together and formed the group, then called Bahari.[7][8] They signed with Interscope Records and the first song they wrote, "Wild Ones", was released as their debut single on December 30, 2014.[9][8] It gained popularity online, reaching more than 40 million streams on Spotify and being featured in TV series Teen Wolf and The Royals.[10][11] The music video was released on April 5, 2016, directed by Darnell Williams.[12][13][14] They also appeared in the song "Addicted to a Memory", featured on Zedd's second studio album True Colors.[15]

Their debut extended play, Dancing on the Sun was released on May 13, 2016, with the title track being the first single.[16][17] Its music video, filmed in the Sequoia National Forest and directed by Marcus Haney was released as an Apple Music exclusive on May 5, 2018.[18][19][20] It impacted contemporary hit radio on May 10, 2018, and appeared on TV shows Supergirl and So You Think You Can Dance.[21][11] They also released music videos for the songs "Altar of the Sun"[22] and "Reasons", also directed by Haney.[23]

During summer 2016, they toured as a supporting act for Birdy as well as for Selena Gomez's Revival Tour.[8][24] On January 13, 2017, a collaboration with Grey called "I Miss You" was released,[25] with its music video directed by Tobias Nathan being released on April 13, 2017.[26][27] On January 20, 2017, a cover of The Youngbloods, "Get Together" was put out as a single.[28] Its music video, directed by Darnell Williams and Sam Sturges, was released on January 24, 2017,[29] and the track was featured on the TV series Riverdale.[11]
