Young Boy is half-brothers Alessandro Baris and Joseph Desler Costa (of indie-rock band L’Altra renown). The brothers, separated as young boys, grew up and were raised on different continents; Alessandro in Italy and Joseph in the United States. Yet somehow, Ale and Joe managed to reconnect and communicate via their shared love and dependence on music. Putting geographic distance aside, they began sending and sharing song ideas and sketches back and forth.
