Hi. We’re Tyler Levs and Joliet4, independent singer/songwriters, performers and live music streamers. We had both been focused on our solo careers for several years when we met during the final round of an online vocal competition in 2019. (Joliet won)
We became avid fans of each other’s music after that, supporting and encouraging one another on social media and during live streams; often responding to each other’s compliments with “It’s mutual”.
A few months later, we met for the first time in person at Twitchcon, and sang together in a busy hallway at the San Diego convention center. We played guitar and used a nearby door as a drum, which got us in trouble. Oops.
After TwitchCon, we started writing songs together through emails and video chats. We experimented with genres and production and released Caught Up (Let Me In) in 2020 and Let’s Begin in 2021.
Careful to prioritize our family commitments and solo careers, we have taken nearly 4 years to carve out room for an official partnership. But during a road trip to SXSW in 2023, we realized how fun (and much easier) it is to write together in person, so we’ve decided to fully dive in and see what we can do as a duo.
Currently, we are traveling back and forth between Tyler in New England and Joliet4 in the Midwest (and of course still meeting on Zoom), to write our first album. Focusing on an acoustic project, we are currently releasing singles on all major streaming platforms in addition to making video content over on YouTube.
