Formation
Lukas Ka$h (born in Watts, California) and Winter Rae (born in Persia, Iowa) were already familiar with each other's work before becoming a group in 2012. Lukas Ka$h (F.k.a STIX or Brandon “STIX” Salaam Bailey) was fresh off his success with executive producing and touring with the Australian hip-hop recording artist Iggy Azalea[4] when he ran into Winter Rae outside a strip club in Tijuana, Mexico.[5] Winter had left Los Angeles and was starting a new life after being eliminated after only one episode on NBC's The Voice[6] They formed an instant bond and decide to start working together immediately. During their first studio session, a short mysterious man walked into their room. That man was Cory Bold, known for his production for artists such as Marques Houston and Keri Hilson.[7] Cory was on his way to a tanning salon, but accidentally entered the wrong building. Cory played a few of his tracks, which impressed Winter and Lukas so much that they invited him to stay for lunch. They ordered some burritos and decided to record the song to their viral YouTube video “Call Me Crazy.” A few weeks after, the video was shot by Falkon and Blk Bart, the same production team responsible for Iggy Azalea’s “Pussy” music video.
