Joshua Grimmett and Ethan Shore, forming the dynamic British duo Goodboys, embarked on their musical journey with a shared passion and a DIY ethos. Their early days were characterized by trial and error, a representation of their resilience and dedication to their craft. Despite initial setbacks and creations that fell short of their expectations, they never lost sight of their vision.

Their breakthrough came unexpectedly with "Piece of Your Heart," a track that started as a fun session but quickly turned into a worldwide phenomenon, demonstrating the serendipitous nature of music production.

Their approach to making music—blending self-taught skills with a deep, mutual passion for sound—has been the cornerstone of their success. Before their collaboration with Meduza, both members were exploring music independently, with Grimmett involved in Christian and gospel music and Shore delving into production and songwriting.

Their convergence into Goodboys marked the fusion of their distinct musical backgrounds, fostering an environment ripe for creativity and innovation.

"Piece of Your Heart" wasn't just a song; it was the culmination of their shared experiences, experimentation, and the willingness to explore beyond conventional boundaries. This openness to collaboration—both with each other and with Meduza—was crucial in crafting a sound that was fresh, yet familiar, striking a chord with listeners globally.

The track's success underscored the importance of persistence, creative exploration, and the synergistic power of collaboration in producing music that not only charts but also resonates deeply with a diverse audience. Through their journey, Goodboys have illustrated that the path to creating impactful music is paved with challenges, learning, and an unwavering belief in one's artistic vision.
