“This double-album, titled ‘How Are You?’ and ‘I’m Okay’, is something we hold very dearly in our hearts. After coming together through conversations that started with mutual adoration and respect for each other’s music, we found ourselves fully immersed in deep meaningful talks and leaning on each other as we navigate through our struggles with anxiety, self-doubt, relationships and life.
At the time when we were making and recording the songs, I was going through one of the toughest struggles of my life. The road ahead of me was blurry, and I wasn’t sure how to overcome it and how to move forward. This album made me realize what matters to the most, so much so that it gave me the push to finally pursue music full-time after so many years of contemplation.”
