Shashwat Trivedi and Akshay Chaz (Shash & Chaz) begun their career in 2011, playing back to back as individual acts before coming to the conclusion that the only logical progression would be to collaborate, since they shared a very similar sonic palette. What marks them apart from other collaborative projects is their ability to sound like one uniform act and not two diverging individuals sharing a stage. Shashwat and Akshay come from two diverging ends of the spectrum in terms of their personality, which in turn adds to their persona.

Crediting their sets at the Vh1 Supersonic Festival, Go:Madras and consistent stints at the Tao Terraces to have a major influence on their sound.
