Early experience
Luca Surico and Stipan Hauser met as teenagers. As piano boys, they all went to zadar to participate in music activities, played separately in front of St. donat's Cathedral and enjoyed each other, and their friendship began. They entered the master class of Zagreb Conservatory of Music together, and then went to Vienna. Surico later entered the Royal Conservatory of Music (London), while Hauser entered the Royal Northern Conservatory of Music (Manchester). Before forming a group, the two often appeared in various music competitions as competitors. Although their music performance in Britain is excellent, they also face certain economic difficulties, which also prompted them to have the idea of recording videos. Once when they were in the Croatian city of Pula, a friend of Hauser suggested that they try to open the pop music market by creating a video of Smooth Crime (originally sung by Michael Jackson). The video was released on YouTube on 201120. In just two weeks, it received more than 3 million hits, and the cumulative number of hits reached100000, which made the cello group a hit.
