Opia began as a duo consisting of singer/songwriter Cole Citrenbaum and LA-based producer Colorthought. The duo met as math and physics majors at Yale University and began collaborating on different musical projects. Later, they added vocalist/keyboardist DJ Stanfill to fill out the group.

At the top of 2016, the duo spent three weeks living out of an underground studio in New Haven, writing music for what would become Opia. Their debut release “Falling” instantly became a viral hit, rocketing to the top of the Spotify, Hype Machine, and SoundCloud charts.

They describe their songs as “tunes to make out to”.
