Raised in a musical environment by her parents since childhood, Giolì (who took piano and guitar lessons) was taking her first steps in the music industry and was looking for a manager.

In May 2018, Spinnin' Records released another single by the duo, "Something Special", which resulted in an invitation to play Privilege club in Ibiza. The time spent in Ibiza inspired them to release another album, "Night Experience", in 2018.[8]
