She reached out, sparking an online conversation that quickly evolved into a full-fledged creative partnership.
Hannah arrived in Bangkok last month, met the band for the first time, and they immediately clicked. The cultural exchange has been enriching both sides.

They’ve been spending long hours in the studio, experimenting with sounds, fusing their musical backgrounds into something truly unique.
