Their residencies include the Ritz Carlton in Osaka, Japan, and the inaugural ceremony of the new ship "Carnival Horizon." Their debut album Us Now was released in 2017, and their second album, Caribbean Manhattan, was released in February 2020.

An upcoming Europe tour this summer was scheduled along with several new projects on the forefront including their upcoming wedding!
