After collaborating on a number of songs, in 2008 they made a cover of "L.E.S. Artistes" from Santigold. They also met guitarist Pierre Guimard who heard their songs on Myspace and offered to work with them and opened his studio for production of their work. 2008 saw release of their track on a compilation entitled Folk & Proud followed, in 2009, by the EP of the duo Lilly Who and the What? referring to the stage name of the duo. It was released on Choke Industry independent label founded by Pierre Guimard and by Matthieu Tessier, the duo's manager. After 2009, they signed with another independent label called Cinq7.[1]

Their first studio album Invincible Friends was released on 31 May 2010. On 9 February 2011, they were nominated for "revelation of the public" award for the Victoires de la Musique.

In June 2014 they released the single for "Prayer in C", a track originally included in their 2010 album, Invincible Friends. German DJ and producer Robin Schulz remixed the song bringing with it success across Europe.[3] The success of the song helped propel the duo into their highest charting solo song in France in 2015 with a song called "I Love You" peaking at number 65. They released their album "Shadows" along with two other singles, "Box Of Noise" and a studio session of "Kokomo" in 2016.

In 2020 they returned with the ballad “Lonely Life” during the COVID-19 pandemic and later announced their new album titled “Most Anything”, an album from which they released the singles “You Want My Money” “A Song” & “In Love For The last time".
