History

[edit]

Hotel Ugly initially formed as a duo in 2019 and composed of brothers Mike and Chris Fiscella. They are based out of Houston, Texas.[2] On June 7, 2021, the duo's debut extended play (EP), The Ugly EP, was released.[3][4] The EP featured the song "Shut Up My Moms Calling," which later gained popularity on video-sharing app TikTok.[5]

In 2022, Chris left the duo, making Hotel Ugly the solo act of Mike. In late 2022 and early 2023, "Shut Up My Moms Calling" appeared on many worldwide charts, including the Billboard Hot 100.[5] On March 24, 2023, Hotel Ugly's debut studio album, Ugly Duck, was released.[6] The album included the single "Action Figures Fighting".[7][8]
