Career

Early days

They taught themselves the basic music production skills using FL Studio in their bedroom. Saami & Andy were college friends since 2010. Andy also showed interest in music production ever since so he also joined the clan. After many musical sessions they came to form Apeiruss as a trio back in 2013. At the beginning they were making music using their computers only.
