We went from complete strangers, to sisters (in Christ!) and from sisterhood came an amazing friendship that grew even stronger after living together in a small NYC apartment, sharing many laughs, tears and adventures 😆 Shawday and I are forever childhood besties!!

Jared and Gabe have been friends since they were mere children in the mid-90s, when their mutual love of video games and stories brought them together. Gabe and Jared have shared many experiences over the years, from writing comic books to singing in choir and performing in musicals. Although he is spending less time on stage and more time at Costco these days, Jared is so glad that Gabe has found another artist with whom to spend his life, and can't wait to hear the beautiful music that Gabe and Shawday make together!
