Bonnie X Clyde (professionally known as BONNIE X CLYDE) is an American
electronic dance music duo formed in 2015 by Daniel Litman and Paige Lopynski. The duo originates from
Fairfax, Virginia but started BXC in
Miami, Florida, and are now based in
Los Angeles. The group fuses
electropop,
synthpop,
house and
trap music in their sound. After releasing their song “Rise Above” they followed it up with their song “Bass Jam” which went #1 on Sirius XM.[citation needed] Their name most likely refers to
Bonnie and Clyde, an American duo of bandits.
History
Litman and Lopynski were high school friends who attended
Robinson Secondary School in
Fairfax, Virginia before getting into music.[1] Lopynski was part of Robinson's chorus, while Litman was doing amateur DJing for local clubs and parties in the
Washington, D.C. metro area. It was around this time they began collaboration in high school and college. Lopynski attended
Virginia Tech while Litman attended
Ithaca College for a year before transferring to
University of Miami.[2]
Both eventually settled in
Miami and restarted collaborations under the pseudonym "Bonnie X Clyde". The duo began receiving shows at local music festivals before receiving their first major show at Life in Color Miami in 2016.[3] There they had their first tour with the support of
Skrillex also known as the Gunshine State Tour throughout
Florida.[1]
In late 2016, Bonnie X Clyde signed with
Interscope Records and released their first EP through them and Insomniac titled Wanted on March 17, 2017.[4]
