Ben & Alex both grew up in Nashville. They went to similar schools and attended the same concerts at Rocketown. Both shared a love of music and performing from an early age. They ended up at the University of Alabama, living just a building apart. They shared a few friends, had the same teachers, and went to the same football games. Ben hung out on the stoop of Mallet, and Alex walked right past him over and over on the way to her dorm. The first time they saw each other was on May 28, 2022. There were thousands of chances for this to have happened sooner, but they like to believe their meeting was meant for the right place and the right time.
