The duo produced for many artists before they banded together, including Yvonne Catterfield, No Angels, Howard Carpendale, The Baseballs, Cassandra Steen and Betty Dittrich [de], under the name of JMC Music.[citation needed]

On 29 January 2015,[citation needed] they released their first single in collaboration with the Danish singer Amanda Pedersen, titled "Frozen Silence". A week later, on 6 February,[citation needed] they released their first album, The Book of Nature. The songs were performed by other artists, such as the German-Canadian-English singer Alice Merton and the Eurovision 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest.

Fahrenhaidt participated as contestants to represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna, Austria.[2] They had previously produced the song "Disappear" for Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.
