Daniel and I are a couple of kids from the sticks of southwest Missouri/Northwest Arkansas. We’ve been on an awesome life journey together since November 11, 2007. We adopted our lovely fur baby, Sif, in October 2012 and have been keepin’ the road HOT ever since!
-The short of us –
We were both raised in church; Daniel’s Grandfather was full-time preacher, my Grandfather was also a minister, and my parents have been leading Praise and Worship at local churches back home for over 40 years. Daniel and I met while in youth group and started playing music together. He was on either guitar or drum kit and it was piano for myself. He was 15 and I was 18 and just about to graduate. I didn’t want a 15 yo bf lol. So, we parted ways for the time being and at his age 17 and my 19, we made a long-term commitment to one another.
Fast forward to spring break March of 2011 and we solidified that commitment with a beautiful ceremony.
We have been playing music together off and on since 2005 and have had quite the genre shift across the years. Starting out playing church music, then shifting to punk for a while, and then the genre that stuck for the most of our youth was heavy metal. We formed a metal band, B.I.V., in 2014 and played shows with them until 2016 in and around the Springfield, MO area. We stepped down from B.I.V. and fully commenced living in Colorado.
Since the end of 2016 we have been producing our own music, getting all these recipes tried and true, and working our butts off in becoming as sustainable as we can!
Welcome to our lives!
Let’s keep in touch, shall we?
All the love,
Chayilah & Daniel
