With their chart-topping hits and innovative soundscapes, FRENSHIP will guide you through a sonic landscape that transcends boundaries and connects hearts. From dance floor anthems to introspective ballads, their music will take you on an emotional rollercoaster with their infectious sound and heartfelt lyrics. 

Formed in 2013, FRENSHIP began as a collaboration between friends, James Sunderland and Brett Hite, who met selling spandex at Lululemon. Drawing inspiration from folding pants, the duo set out to create music that embodied the essence of human connection. In 2016, FRENSHIP gained international recognition with their breakout hit single, "Capsize," featuring Emily Warren. The song quickly became a chart-topping success, reaching platinum certification in multiple countries. 

Since then, FRENSHIP released their debut album and an array of captivating singles, each showcasing their evolving sound and growth as artists. Tracks like "1000 Nights," "Wanted a Name," and "Remind You" have garnered critical acclaim and cemented their reputation for crafting emotionally charged anthems that resonate with a broad audience. 

FRENSHIP's live performances are a testament to their magnetic presence and showmanship. With a commitment to delivering powerful shows, FRENSHIP’s energetic stage presence and genuine connection with their audience creates an immersive and unforgettable experience. 

This Fall, FRENSHIP is releasing their 6 song “Base Camp '' EP with new label partner, ONErpm. Base Camp marks the beginning of new music, a US headline tour and the start of a long climb upward that leads into their 2024 sophomore album. The Base Camp EP showcases collaborations with international artists and tells stories you would hear around a campfire: stories of love, heartbreak, adventure and escapism. Join the climb as FRENSHIP leaves their indelible mark on the industry and fans alike. 


ABOUT: THE IVY

Just when you think you have The Ivy all figured out as a dreamy synth-pop band, they’ll throw a curve ball, incorporating lo-fi bedroom sounds, rock guitars or R&B-inspired instrumental interludes into their indie pop. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based duo comprising singer/songwriter/guitarist Wyatt Clem and songwriter/synth player/bassist Shawn Abhari always keeps you guessing.

Dubbed by Earmilk as “one of the most promising indie pop acts to come out of Oklahoma,” The Ivy burst onto the scene in 2017 when their songs “Gold” and “Have You Ever Been in Love” went viral, climbing the Spotify charts & receiving millions of streams, winning over critics and drawing comparisons to The 1975.

The Ivy’s 2023 debut full-length album, A Door Still Open, showcases their knack for writing inviting pop hooks that are utterly catchy without being saccharine and their ability to construct enticing melodies within a pop framework. The album touches on themes of self-reflection, personal growth and transcending the limiting beliefs and mindsets we’re often indoctrinated into during our upbringing. 

Case in point: lead single “Good Faith.” With its groovy opening bass line and Wyatt’s dreamy, ethereal vocals, “Good Faith” combines pop, R&B and indie rock elements to great effect. The song’s lyrics encourage us to take a break from the hustle culture that tells us we should constantly be striving. “It’s about realizing there’s value and worth in being present and keeping your attention on what exists right here and now,” Wyatt says. 

Wyatt and Shawn met studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Oklahoma City & discovered their musical styles complemented each other. Shawn loved emo and pop punk like Green Day and Blink-182 and Wyatt was influenced by R&B and the blues. When they came together, these disparate influences balanced out beautifully. 

Both Shawn and Wyatt grew up playing music from a very young age. “My parents are both first-generation immigrants,” Shawn says. “My dad is Iranian and emigrated to the U.S. during the Iranian Revolution, and my mom is from France. They encouraged us to express ourselves creatively, but academics always came first.” Shawn played in several punk bands with friends growing up in Tulsa and ended up studying engineering and music production before focusing his attentions on songwriting and creating music with The Ivy.

Wyatt grew up in Amber, Oklahoma, a small town about 40 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. “Where I grew up it was all about baseball and sports,” Wyatt says. “You weren’t supposed to express yourself too much. It had to be within the confines of what was perceived as ‘normal.’” 

Wyatt got his first acoustic guitar when he was 12, and his father—who’d often blast Van Halen, Bon Jovi and old country music in his truck—noticed that Wyatt had an aptitude for guitar and encouraged him to take lessons. Wyatt soon took up the electric guitar and found himself studying the early music of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay. “Music provided something spiritual for me—almost like a religious experience,” Wyatt says.

With three critically acclaimed EPs and A Door Still Open under their belts, The Ivy have amassed fans around the world, shared the stage with LANY and the Band Camino, performed at Lollapalooza and are making indelible waves in the indie pop scene.
