[1] At the very end of high school, the duo formed Two Friends, coming up with the name together during a Senior Seminar class they had both enrolled in.
They began working on hip-hop beats in the software Pro Tools, producing for several up-and-coming rappers before pivoting towards the electronic realm.
[2] After visiting the Sahara Tent at Coachella and being slowly introduced to electronic music by some friends and family, they became even more fascinated with the emerging genre and soon dove in head-first.
Halper majored in Product Design and Sones in Human & Organizational Development, but much of their time was dedicated to the Two Friends project.
[6] One of their first big opportunities came in 2014, when their remix of Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" was added to regular rotation on SiriusXM's EDM Station BPM.
The duo has amassed over twenty-seven #1 tracks on Hype Machine, as well as garnered praise from The Chainsmokers, who named them "Most Underrated Artist" in a 2017 Reddit Thread.
Two Friends performed at iconic venues across North America such as Red Rocks, Northerly Island, and Forest Hills Stadium as part of their 25-date tour.
Two of their bigger songs to date, "More Than Yesterday" with Russell Dickerson[18] and "If Only I" with Loud Luxury and Bebe Rexha[19] were released during the Planet Two Friends Tour.
