After meeting during a summer music program, Max Challis and John Cattini founded Morningbird in the summer of 2014 with a couple of bedroom recording sessions that became their debut self-titled EP in October 2015.
As Challis and Cattini grew musically, they kept writing and recording. After a year of writing, recording, producing, and mixing, they finished Only Believe in Love, Morningbird’s first full-length album, still having never played a live set.
Now that they had an album, Morningbird needed more members to perform their full productions on stage. Challis and Cattini brought together their closest friends—Isak Kotecki, Connor Frawley, and Ian Ho—and the five-piece band was formed in fall 2016.
