History

2010–2014: Beginnings

Although not officially forming until 2015, Joseph Birdsong's debut album Young & Free, Pt. 1 (2010), released through DFTBA Records on December 7, 2010,[4] was produced by Sam Antonioli, as well as several non-album singles including "New Queen Bee",[5] "Digital Dream"[6] and "Sticks and Stones".[7]

Antonioli and Birdsong founded The Show with Sam & Joe in April 2014.[3] Described as a "totes casual podcast", episodes of the show are posted weekly onto iTunes Store and SoundCloud. The first episode was posted on May 15, 2014.[8]

In June 2014, Antonioli and Birdsong previewed a snippet of their new song "Midnight Moonlight".[9] Birdsong confirmed in a video on his YouTube channel in October 2014 that he and Antonioli were working on new music together.[10] He stated that the new music was his "favorite stuff that [they] have ever done musically" therefore wanting to perfect the new material by not giving themselves a deadline.[10]

2015–present: Moonlight

During a podcast for The Show with Sam & Joe on September 3, 2015, San Antonioli and Joseph Birdsong announced that they were to release new music under the name Candy Coded.[2] It took the duo "a good month and a half” to choose a name and decided on Candy Coded (a play on "candy coated") because the music is “dancey and candy-ish".[2] Candy Coded explained that because they had "equal parts" in composing Birdsong's past solo music that they wanted to release music as a group.[2] Antonioli said the new music "doesn't sound like anything else that [they've] made before" and Birdsong also expressed how his name “doesn't fit this kind of music anymore”. Moonlight (2015) was confirmed to be the title of their debut extended play, along with the lead single "Midnight Moonlight".[2] "All the Time" and "Wonder" were also confirmed to be the tracks on the extended play.[1][11] Birdsong unveiled the artwork via Instagram on September 10, 2015.[12] Alongside the release of Moonlight on September 15, 2015, Candy Coded also released the music video for "Midnight Moonlight", directed by gobouPTA, via YouTube.[13]
