Биография

The setting shapes the story just as much as the characters do. The story of WILD takes place in Los Angeles, CA. As such, the sprawling metropolis impacts, influences, and inspires the trio’s cinematic translation of folk, indie, and alternative. The group—Lauren Luiz [vocals], Tyler Thompson [producer, guitar], and Zach Daegatano [vocals, guitar]—project sensitive storytelling through a prism of lush production and heartfelt hooks. “We make ‘L.A. Folk’,” exclaims Lauren. “If you go to Oregon, Tennessee, or Texas, the genre sounds different. This is what folk would sound like in Los Angeles, because of the production and the hooks.” The group made waves with their independent debut single “Vagabond” as they unveiled a steady succession of singles, leading up to the 2018 Lace & Layers EP. Averaging 400,000-plus monthly listeners on Spotify, the band tallied 50 million cumulative streams by 2020. Along the way, they supported acts like Ingrid Michaelson and Spill Canvas on the road. In addition, they launched a successful headline tour and graced the stages of Bottlerock Festival and SXSW. Their music also quietly coursed throughout popular culture, appearing on Life Itself, The Dangerous Book For Boys, Little Italy, ABC’s Million Little Things, Teen Mom, Legacies, Workin’ Moms, and Goosebumps as well as campaigns for Mazda, Pepsi and Nintendo Switch.
