"This Is the New Year" solidified Axel as an indie pop presence with staggering YouTube views and numerous syncs on film and television - including use over the title credits of Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve and as the theme song for the hit MTV documentary series I Used To Be Fat. He played national tours and opened shows for Ingrid Michaelson and Glee star Matthew Morrison. But it is with Vaccarino and A Great Big World that Axel expands his horizons immensely.

Making positive, piano-driven pop bursting with harmonies and woven together with a fun theatrical twist, the duo crafted a six-song EP funded entirely on Kickstarter by fans. "It's optimistic pop music," Chad says. "There are fewer songs about heartbreak and more about the big picture. But even the most painful of our songs are hopeful."

They've certainly chased their dreams and they're going to continue to do so. But there is something even greater at play. "Writing is our therapy," Ian concludes. "And when we can connect with people through our music, it's transformational. We're not alone. Our songs are your songs. And that's what it's all about."
