The producer-singer duo THEY. consist of Dante Jones and Drew Love. The pair met at a recording studio in LA and instantly decided to join forces. THEY. started releasing music back in 2016, with their first project "Nu Religion: Hyena" debuting in 2017, "Fireside EP" in 2018 and "The Amanda Tape" in 2020. To date, the group has generated over 300M streams, toured with Bryson Tiller for the Trap Soul tour, 6lack for the From East Atlanta With Love tour, performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Vevo Control, Coachella and Governors Ball.
Los Angeles-based duo THEY. defy easy categorization, with a deft blend of R&B, hip-hop, rock, and pop spawned by such varied influences as Nirvana, New Edition, Ed Sheeran, Taking Back Sunday, and James Brown. Blurring genre lines, the pair first made waves with their contribution to Zhu's 2015 Genesis Series track "Working for It," which also featured Skrillex. Much like that song's mixture of sounds, their own music aimed to surprise and manipulate expectations on 2017's Nü Religion: HYENA and 2020's The Amanda Tape.
THEY. were formed by Denver producer Dante and Washington, D.C. producer/vocalist Drew Love. They both arrived in Los Angeles separately, choosing different songwriting paths: while Drew wrote for R&B singers like Chris Brown and Jeremih, Dante lent his talents to artists like will.i.am and Kelly Clarkson, even winning a Grammy for his work on Clarkson's "Mr. Know-It-All." After a chance meeting, Drew and Dante combined their talents and decided to officially form an act. Once the Zhu track built a large online following -- racking up millions of streams -- they released their debut EP, Nü Religion, in late 2015. The three-song effort featured heavy guitar effects, atmospheric production, and a combination of woozy singing and rapping, like the Weeknd, the-Dream, and Mind of a Genius labelmate Gallant.
