They met in the spring of 2018 in a studio session with a mutual friend, and instantly formed a musical connection. Shortly after this time, the pair decided to collaborate on some of Ash’s unfinished ideas. This initial collaboration resulted in the tracks ‘Do Me Know Harm’, ‘Take This Life’ and ‘From Beneath’. Shortly after the release of the aforementioned songs, there was a natural progression of their friendship that led to the creation of their first songs together and Tu-kay & Ryan were born!
