Their songwriting has got them to the finals of the IMRO Christie Hennessy Song Contest on two occasions as well as getting them to the semi finals of the International Songwriting Competition in 2019 out of 18000 entries and most recently the semi finals of the UK Song Contest in 2022.

Their self titled debut EP ‘Without Willow’ is available to buy and stream on all major online music outlets and their latest singles 'NIGHTINGALE' and AS AUTUMN FALLS are now available for digital download/streaming on all major platforms.

They are currently working on their debut full length album.
