We met at the end of August 2021, when Andrea was playing a show at a bar where Brandon worked. Bran had already decided he had to talk to her… which is ironic, because he then needed a few drinks and a solid pep talk to actually do it.

Eventually, with some help from mutual friends (and a sense of false courage), we started talking, and something just clicked. We were in for a ride.

On 8 October 2021, in a garden at 3am, Bran asked Aya to be his girlfriend. Impulsive, unconventional and fun; very on brand for us.

From there, we never really stopped. We have both lived in different places, had different jobs, different friends and different dreams, we’ve travelled the country together with Aya's touring and on holidays, grown alongside each other through an array of versions of ourselves. Where we have undoubtedly learned that we like and love each other more and more regardless of which version of ourselves we might be. When we met, Aya was working in corporate and playing shows part-time, pursuing music and Bran was a student/bartender/DJ/band manager and part-time everything. Since then, Aya has followed her dream into full-time music, Bran stepped into his engineering career, and life has changed more ways than we can count, the immovable consistency - us.

These days, we live together and build a life we’re really proud of; full of love, music, laughter, and a lot of shared dreams. We got engaged on 21 March 2025, and we can’t wait to stand side by side on 11 July 2026 and choose each other, again.
