So when we returned home, Debby and I were determined to show our commitment to each other. So we drew up a design with tattoo artist and friend Colin Rigsby!"

Ayden is Making a Documentary
When speaking with KTLA5, Mayeri explained how she's working on a documentary about an unorthodox record deal she and her friends signed in 2020.
She reminisced about her early musical experiences, mentioning that she was in a band at the age of 12.
They recorded a CD in 2000, which was produced by one of the band member's mothers "at her home studio and made this cool CD."
She was surprised when, in 2020 "someone found it online" leading to a small following and ultimately resulting in a record deal:
"I was in a band when I was 12 and we made a CD in the year 2000 that one of the girl's moms produced at her home studio and made this cool CD for us. And then in 2020 someone found it online and we had this little following and then a record label named Numero Group called and signed us to their label."
She then explained how none of her friends or herself have been working in music but they still went forward with the deal and began creating new music.
