ASTR, the dynamic duo based in New York City, emerged in 2013 after a serendipitous meeting in a yoga class. Their shared passion for music, influenced by cinema noir and urban dreamscapes, led to the creation of a unique sound that blends electronic and R&B elements. Their debut single “Operate” was released through Tommy Boy Records, quickly establishing them as a fresh voice in the music scene.

In January 2014, ASTR released their first EP, “Varsity,” which was celebrated by *Spin* as one of the best albums of the year. This project showcased their innovative approach to music, combining haunting melodies with contemporary beats. Their cover of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” became a breakout hit, further solidifying their reputation and earning them praise across various music platforms.

Following the success of their debut, ASTR released their second EP, “Homecoming,” in November 2015. This project featured the track “Activate Me,” produced by the renowned Darkchild, and explored themes of nostalgia and industry challenges.
