Bestfriend

Band

Bestfriend was half-formed through a mutual friend and half-formed through Instagram DMs in 2018. The indie-pop duo is a culmination of two young artists, Stacy Kim and Kaelan Geoffrey, making music from thousands of miles apart; Stacy in the west, Kaelan in the east.

Through trial and error (and many gigabytes of .wav files sent back and forth), they’ve found their stride in dreamy, story-telling pop songs. Geoffrey's expert use of dreamy, almost euphoric synthesizers paired with Kim's guiding, melodious vocals pulls listeners into a shared space, creating harmony within the themes of uncertainty.
​
Their latest EP, places i’ve lived, received accolades in the likes of Under The Rader, EARMILK, Exclaim! and The Line of Best Fit, amassing over 1,500,000 streams within the first 4 months of release. places i've lived is a part 1 of a series of letters; these songs are dedicated to the people and places of the young adult lives they are growing out of. places i've lived was written and produced entirely by the duo and mixed by Grammy-nominated Travis Ference (Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly, Imagine Dragons).
​
Next up for Bestfriend is the sister EP to places i've lived, aptly named places i've left; their first single, heartfelt indie-pop at its core, Someplace Else, will be released March 30, 2022.
