We came to be out of longing and love, moved by margaritas and top shelf sangria. Seven years ago, in the wild depths of Los Angeles, a “chance” encounter brought us together. We promised each other then that in seven years time we would create a dreamy pop disco project to inspire and confound the world. And so we did.

On the beat in the South of France, Jesse’s fingertips had grown tired of the monotonous clacking of the typewriter. Weeks of travel reporting and hotel reviews left him weary and dreaming of vacation with his loved one.

Meanwhile, Zinzi was finally displeased by the constant carousel of fine dining and luxurious affairs that was her life. Stuffy executives, top chefs and decorated royalty – these dinners were all the same.

Upon Jesse’s return, we begrudgingly agreed to follow a friend to a dusty club in the heart of Chinatown. We didn’t know then that this would be The Heart of the Nightlife. Guided by plush beats and shimmering vocals, we lost ourselves in the music and the mood. Nobody asked who was on the jukebox; they just danced.

To make ends meet, Jesse began working with disco legend Alec Costandinos selling off his old studio equipment. Business was booming. One day, they took a meeting at a nearby sandwich shop. By the time Jesse had arrived, Alec had nearly finished his tuna sandwich. While waiting for Jesse’s tuna sandwich, the two discussed music and the cosmos. “Always leave a little to chance,” Alec said. Yes, this may have referred to a tuna sandwich, but his message was clear. This simple sentiment of the adventurous spirit and joyful spontaneity was woven into the elaborate tapestry that is our band – Kisses.
