100 Gecs and their music career
The 100 Gecs was formed as a collaboration between Laura Les and Dylan Brady after they met in high school and stayed in touch while Laura pursued university studies in Chicago.
Speaking of their collaboration in an interview with Fader, the duo elaborated:
"We just wanted to do something together. We had no idea what it was going to sound like. We just looked at it as a one-off."
They later explained how the collaboration was freeing, unlike their work with other established artists.
They continued:
"It’s sick being able to do everything we want to do with each other. There was never a point where we were like, 'This is too crazy, I don’t think we can do this'"
100 Gecs released their debut studio album, 1000 Gecs, on May 31, 2019. The album was moderately successful, peaking at number 36 on the Independent Albums chart.
