Finn Bjarnson stumbled upon Becky Jean Williams in the summer of 2003. "I had just been given a local Christmas CD that I had produced a couple tracks for," Finn recalls, " and as I was listening through the tracks, there she was! Her beautiful voice and style immediately struck me." A couple of phone calls later and they were in the studio together for the first time. "I had worked up this song called 'Empty Streets' and wanted to try her voice out on it..." Finn continues, "and it took off from there." Finn was already working in the studio with Ryan Raddon (Kaskade), and soon Finn, Ryan, and Becky formed Late Night Alumni.
In 2004, British record label Hed Kandi made an offer to license and release a full length Late Night Alumni album. "At that point," Finn says, "I knew the band was not ready. We were missing an element." That missing element turned out to be John Hancock; a talented producer with whom Finn had been trying to "find an excuse" to work with for years. With that, the band was complete and hard at work with the debut album; mixing electronic with organic elements for a unique brand of chill that is easily distinguishable in today's down tempo house music scene.
