History
[edit]
Twin siblings Max and Spencer Ernst grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, and showed an interest in music from a very young age. In middle school, they and some friends formed a rock band called Upslide. Upslide performed locally in the Washington metropolitan area for several years, which eventually led the twins to attract the attention of a New York-based management company, Magus Entertainment, who secured them a publishing deal with Cherry Lane Music. While attending Gonzaga College High School, they formed a pop duo called Trust Fall and began touring other parts of the country.[3] Max and Spencer met Chelsea Lee in 2007 while they were performing at the 9:30 Club, a club in Washington D.C.
Around 2009, Chelsea signed as a solo artist with Atlantic Records.[4] The same year, Max announced his homosexuality to his brother.[5] In 2010, Chelsea and Spencer both began a romantic relationship.
Following high school, the Ernst twins deferred attending college in hopes of getting a record deal with Epic Records. The deal ultimately fell through, and they both went to the University of Maryland, College Park in the spring. While attending college, the twins formed a folk rock duo called The Walking Sticks. The Walking Sticks released their debut EP World So Bright on June 27, 2012, when the twins were in their senior year of college.[3] The songs on the album were all recorded live, and featured an acoustic roots rock sound.
Having ended her solo contract with Atlantic Records in 2011, Lee joined The Walking Sticks sometime after World So Bright was released.[6] In late 2013, The Walking Sticks released their second EP, Send the Night. With this release, the group completely changed their music style, transitioning from folk rock to dream-pop.[7]
In March 2016, The Walking Sticks changed their name to Shaed, in recognition of their new stylistic leanings.[8] They signed with Photo Finish Records by June 2016, and toured with Marian Hill and Vérité in the fall of 2016. In September 2016, Shaed released Just Wanna See, their debut EP under their new name.[9] Their single "Name On It" was the featured track for a Victoria's Secret commercial which debuted on May 15, 2018.[10] In April 2017, Shaed went on tour again as an opener for Bishop Briggs.[9]
In September 2017, the band moved into a house together, and began recording in a home studio for their second EP, Melt. On May 18, 2018, Shaed debuted their first single from the EP, "Trampoline".[11] The group released Melt on September 21, 2018, via Photo Finish Records. On October 30, 2018, Apple debuted their MacBook Air commercial featuring "Trampoline".[12] Chelsea Lee and Spencer Ernst were married in Arlington, Virginia during the first weekend of October 2018.[4]
Their new single "No Other Way" was released on October 16, 2020, via Photo Finish Records.[13]
Chelsea and Spencer welcomed daughter June River on January 29, 2022, according to the band's Instagram page.

History
Formation and early career (2011–2015)
Twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, began making music together during their childhood in the Washington, D.C. area. In middle school, they formed a rock band called Upslide with friends, performing at local events such as Catholic school circuits and community parades. By high school, the brothers had transitioned to a pop duo named Trust Fall, signing with New York-based management and focusing on material aimed at securing a label deal.[6][7] While attending the University of Maryland, College Park, the Ernst brothers formed the folk-rock duo The Walking Sticks around 2011, drawing inspiration from their upbringing near wooded areas and their father's collection of walking sticks. As seniors, they self-released their debut EP, World So Bright, on June 27, 2012, featuring acoustic-driven songs that reflected their rootsy Americana influences. The EP was produced independently at home, showcasing their multi-instrumental talents on guitars, drums, and keyboards without major label support.[8][7][6] Vocalist Chelsea Lee, who had been signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist since her teens, met Spencer Ernst at a show in 2007 and began dating him in 2009; after her contract ended in 2011, she joined The Walking Sticks as a guest vocalist and soon became a full member. Her addition brought a more dynamic vocal presence to the group, leading to the release of their second self-produced EP, Send the Night, in late 2013, which marked an initial shift toward dreamier, synth-infused elements while retaining folk-rock foundations. In 2014, they followed with the EP Pop Dreams, further experimenting with pop structures in tracks like "Bang (Vibe with You)." During this period, The Walking Sticks performed extensively in the D.C. area at venues such as Nyumburu Amphitheater and Looney’s Pub, building a local following through independent gigs and home-recorded material. By 2015, their sound had begun evolving more distinctly toward dream-pop, setting the stage for future changes.[7][9][10][11][6]Breakthrough and "Trampoline" (2016–2019)
In March 2016, the band changed its name from The Walking Sticks to Shaed, stylized as SHAED and pronounced "shade", to better align with their shifting sound incorporating more dream-pop influences.[7][12] This rebranding marked a deliberate pivot from their earlier folk-rock roots toward ethereal, electronic-tinged indie pop. The trio's first release under the new moniker was the EP Just Wanna See, issued in September 2016 via Photo Finish Records, which introduced their emerging dream-pop style through tracks blending hazy vocals and atmospheric production.[10] In 2016, Shaed signed with Photo Finish Records, paving the way for broader exposure. This deal led to the September 21, 2018, release of their second EP, Melt, which debuted at number 132 on the US Billboard 200 and showcased polished electropop arrangements.[13] The EP's lead single, "Trampoline", arrived on May 18, 2018, and gained traction through viral sharing on social media platforms before exploding in popularity following its feature in an Apple MacBook Air commercial that October.[14][15] "Trampoline" became Shaed's signature hit, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Alternative Airplay chart, where it held the top spot for multiple weeks and charted for a record 63 weeks.[16] The track earned 4× Platinum certification from the RIAA for over four million units sold in the US, driven by its infectious, buoyant melody and Chelsea Lee's soaring vocals. Amid the song's ascent, band members Chelsea Lee and Spencer Ernst married in October 2018, strengthening their personal and creative bonds within the group.[17] The breakthrough fueled extensive touring, including a standout performance at Lollapalooza in August 2019, and garnered coverage in major outlets like Rolling Stone, which highlighted the band's rising indie-pop presence.[18][19]Later years and recent releases (2020–present)
In 2020, Shaed released the single "No Other Way," a track produced by the band alongside GRAMMY-winning collaborators Drew Brown and James Musshorn, serving as the lead single for their debut full-length album.[20] The song's introspective lyrics explored personal resilience amid uncertainty, setting the tone for the band's evolving sound. This release came during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, which profoundly disrupted Shaed's touring schedule and creative process; the band, consisting of Chelsea Lee, Spencer Ernst, and Max Ernst, relocated temporarily—Lee and Spencer to her parents' home—altering their collaborative dynamics and prompting a reevaluation of ongoing projects.[2] While specific virtual performances were limited, the pandemic forced delays in live engagements and album production, ultimately leading the group to scrap an initial version of their debut for a more authentic iteration completed in isolation.[21] The band's first studio album, High Dive, arrived on May 14, 2021, via Photo Finish Records, featuring collaborations with artists like ZAYN, Lewis Del Mar, and Two Feet.[22] Recorded amid the pandemic's constraints, the record delved into themes of vulnerability, anxiety, and emotional reevaluation, with tracks like "Six in the Morning" showcasing Lee's nuanced vocals that conveyed raw introspection and mental strain.[21] Critics noted the album's balance of upbeat instrumentation against lyrical turmoil, reflecting the band's personal growth during a period of global isolation. In 2022, personal milestones further shaped their trajectory: Lee and Ernst welcomed their daughter, June, whose arrival influenced subsequent songwriting by introducing motifs of parenthood's joys and challenges, as seen in later compositions.[2] Shaed's second album, Spinning Out, was released on June 7, 2024, through BMG Rights Management, marking their major-label debut and a shift toward a more organic, home-recorded aesthetic captured live at Max Ernst's residence. Comprising 11 tracks, including singles "Spinning Out" and "Maybe I Don't Know How," the album addressed themes of family, love, growth, and mortality, with reviewers praising its matured sound—raw, nostalgic, and cohesive—as a natural evolution from the anxious energy of High Dive.[2] The record's creation was informed by the band's departure from their previous label and management, fostering a sense of independence that emphasized familial bonds both personally and musically. Post-2022, touring remained limited due to family priorities, including the birth of their second child; a modest East Coast release tour occurred in summer 2024, but no major 2025 tours have been announced as of November 2025. The band continues to engage fans through active social media presence on platforms like Instagram, sharing glimpses of studio sessions and personal reflections, while pursuing self-directed creative endeavors.[23]Artistry
Musical style
Shaed's music is primarily classified as indie pop with prominent dream-pop aesthetics, featuring ethereal and soulful vocals, synth-driven melodies, and atmospheric production that creates an immersive, hazy soundscape.[24][7] The band's sound emphasizes layered textures and reverb-heavy arrangements, drawing on electronic elements to evoke a sense of floating introspection, as heard in their use of shimmering keyboards and subtle percussion to build emotional depth.[7] This style positions Shaed within the broader alternative pop landscape, where pop accessibility meets experimental electronic flourishes. The band's sonic evolution reflects a marked transition from their early folk-rock roots, characterized by acoustic guitars and Americana influences, to an electronic-infused pop approach beginning in 2016.[7][25] Post-transition, their work incorporates layered keyboards, reverb-drenched synths, and programmed beats, moving away from organic instrumentation toward a more polished, digital palette that enhances the dreamlike quality of their tracks.[7] Their 2024 album Spinning Out continues this evolution with a return to more organic instrumentation, such as piano and acoustic guitar, alongside moody synth-pop elements, creating psychedelic and cathartic tones while reflecting a settled, honest sound recorded at home.[2] This shift allowed for greater experimentation in home studio environments, enabling spontaneous integration of electronic production techniques.[7] Central to Shaed's identity are the strong, soulful vocals of lead singer Chelsea Lee, which serve as the emotional core, often conveying a duality of light and dark themes through her versatile delivery—ranging from buoyant highs to vulnerable lows.[7][24] The Ernst brothers, Max and Spencer, contribute a multi-instrumental production style that blends alternative rock, synth-pop, and ambient elements, resulting in a "psychedelic city pop" vibe marked by infectious rhythms and urban-tinged euphoria.[12] Their collaborative process in a shared home studio fosters this hybrid sound, weaving Lee's voice with buoyant beats and subtle electronic manipulations for a cohesive, head-nodding appeal.[7][26] Thematically, Shaed's lyrics explore relationships, vulnerability, and escapism, balancing optimistic escapism with introspective rawness.[27] Tracks like "Trampoline" capture bouncy optimism through dreamlike imagery of endless flight and emotional release, contrasting with later works that delve into personal struggles such as anxiety and depression, as in "Part Time Psycho."[7][28] Spinning Out extends these themes to family, parenthood, mortality, and life changes, emphasizing hope amid uneasiness.[2] This duality underscores a narrative of emotional resilience, where vulnerability in love and self-identity becomes a source of empowerment and connection.[27][28]Influences and collaborations
The Ernst brothers, Max and Spencer, drew early influences from folk and Americana during their formative years in bands like Upslide and The Walking Sticks, where they explored acoustic roots rock before incorporating electronic elements.[7] Lead vocalist Chelsea Lee brought her background in pop and soul music, having signed as a solo artist with Atlantic Records in 2009, which infused the group's sound with soulful vocals and a more emotive edge.[7][29][17] Following their 2016 name change to SHAED, the band shifted toward a dream-pop aesthetic, largely inspired by Lee's contributions, moving away from their folk-rock origins to embrace indie electro-pop with ambient, synth-driven layers.[7] Fans and critics have noted broader draws to psychedelic rock and city pop aesthetics in their work, creating a vibrant, atmospheric quality.[12] The group has self-described their style as "strong female vocals, fresh, soulful, electronic pop," emphasizing a genre-blending approach that avoids strict constraints.[30] SHAED's key collaborations highlight their connections within the music community. In 2018, they partnered with ZAYN for a remix of "Trampoline," where his added vocals helped propel the track to over 585 million Spotify streams (as of October 2025) and broadened their alt-pop appeal.[31][32] They later featured on Steve Aoki's 2019 single "2 in a Million" alongside Sting, a dance-oriented track that the band described as a joyful process rooted in their admiration for Sting's influence.[33][31] For their 2024 album Spinning Out, they collaborated with producers Tommy English (known for work with Børns) and Jeremy Hatcher (known for work with Harry Styles) on the track "Everybody Knows I’m High."[2] These partnerships, often highlighted in interviews, underscore SHAED's allyship with diverse artists across pop, electronic, and rock genres, though they have not pursued major co-writing credits outside their core trio.[33]Personnel
Current members
Shaed maintains a stable trio lineup that has remained unchanged since its formation in 2011, with no former members in its history.[34] Chelsea Lee (born 1990, Washington, D.C.) provides lead vocals and occasional keyboards for the band. She joined in 2011 and is recognized for her emotive vocal delivery that defines the group's indie pop sound.[35][9][36] Spencer Ernst (born 1990, Silver Spring, Maryland) plays keyboards, drums, guitars, and contributes backing vocals; as a co-founder, he also oversees much of the band's production.[7][24] Max Ernst (born 1990, Silver Spring, Maryland), Spencer's twin brother and fellow co-founder, handles keyboards, drums, guitars, and backing vocals, with a focus on crafting the band's multi-instrumental arrangements.[7][24] The members share responsibilities across songwriting and live performances, fostering a collaborative dynamic central to Shaed's creative process.[37]Personal life
Chelsea Lee and Spencer Ernst began their romantic relationship in 2010, prior to the formal formation of Shaed in 2011.[9] The couple married in October 2018 at Lee's grandmother's house in Arlington, Virginia, marking a significant personal milestone amid the band's rising success.[9][7] In January 2022, Lee and Ernst welcomed their first child, a daughter named June, which profoundly shaped their family life and creative output.[2][38] The arrival of June continued to resonate in their 2024 release Spinning Out, where motifs of family expansion and emotional depth emerged, inspired by parenthood.[2][39] Lee has described motherhood as a source of heightened inspiration, enhancing her songwriting with new perspectives on resilience and joy.[38] Max Ernst, Spencer's identical twin brother and the band's multi-instrumentalist, maintains a notably low-profile personal life, focusing primarily on his contributions to the group.[36] In 2022, he and his partner, Quinn, adopted a puppy named Christina, adding to the familial bonds within the band dynamic.[2] The trio often describes themselves as "just your average family band," emphasizing their close-knit, supportive structure that blends professional collaboration with everyday familial ties.[40] Following their breakthrough with "Trampoline" in 2018–2019, Shaed relocated from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles to foster a more expansive creative environment, with the members now residing about 20 minutes apart.[2] This move supported their evolving family needs while providing studio access for ongoing projects. The band has avoided public controversies, prioritizing privacy and harmony in their personal spheres.[2] Navigating parenthood alongside their music career, Lee and Ernst have adjusted touring schedules, including pauses around June's birth and Lee's pregnancy with their second child in 2024.[2][40] This balance allows them to integrate family responsibilities, with close proximity enabling shared support among the members during travels and recordings.[2]Discography
Studio albums
Shaed's debut studio album, High Dive, was released on May 14, 2021, through Photo Finish Records.[41] The album features 11 tracks that delve into themes of emotional depth, anxiety, and personal reflection, capturing the band's experiences during a tumultuous period including the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] Produced largely by the band themselves, with contributions from Josh Fountain and Ariel Rechtshaid, it highlights the multi-instrumental talents of twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst.[21] Critics praised the production for its clean, professional electro-pop sound and triumphant energy, though some noted the pressure to replicate the success of prior singles like "Trampoline."[42][43]| No. | Title | Length |

Extended plays
SHAED's early extended plays were released during their time as the folk-rock outfit The Walking Sticks, reflecting a rootsy, acoustic sound before their evolution into dream-pop. Their debut self-released EP, World So Bright (2012), featured 5 tracks including "Looking at the Moon" and "Subway," establishing a folk-rock foundation during the Ernst brothers' college years at the University of Maryland.[8] The follow-up, Send the Night (2013, self-released), comprised 4 tracks such as the title song and "Real Thing," incorporating subtle modern production elements while maintaining an acoustic core. In 2014, Pop Dreams (self-released) arrived with 6 tracks, including "Bang" and "Take Me Up to the Sun," signaling an initial shift toward dreamier, pop-infused arrangements. After rebranding to SHAED in early 2016 to align with their emerging electronic-leaning style, the trio issued their first EP under the new name, Just Wanna See (September 2016, independent), a 5-track release featuring the title track, "Thunder," and "Perfume" that highlighted their dream-pop transition. Their major-label breakthrough came with Melt (September 21, 2018, Photo Finish Records), a 6-track electropop EP including the breakout single "Trampoline," which debuted at No. 132 on the US Billboard 200.[49]Singles
Shaed's singles have played a pivotal role in establishing the band's presence in the indie pop and alternative scenes, with their breakout track driving widespread recognition through airplay, streaming, and social media virality. The trio's releases often blend ethereal vocals with electronic elements, achieving notable success on U.S. charts while garnering international attention via remixes and promotions.[50] Key singles include:| Single | Release Date | Album/EP Association | Peak Chart Positions | Certifications |
