In April 2022 the Portuguese producer St. James Park (Tiago Sampaio), Dutch pianist Daniël Tomàs (Daniël vd Duim) and Dutch/German vocalist Eliën (Élénie Wagner) met during a residency at showcase festival Westway Lab in Guimarães Portugal.

Matched by the festival’s artistic team, the three producers/musicians went into an intensive seven-day collaboration and created new material for a showcase during the opening of Westway Lab 2022. Due to the great success during their show, the band decided to continue and form a band. X IT was born. Since then, the trio wrote its first EP and worked on their upcoming record titled ’MNTNY’. In April the band played their first show as part of the official city showcases of Westway Lab 2023. In October they were already invited to play a bigger show as part of Pro Weekend Fest in Spain, followed by an invitation from Poland's oldest and largest pop venue ’Club Stodola’ in Warsaw in spring 2024. This event in Warsaw is organized by Live Europe, supporting emerging EU artists throughout the continent. Last but not least the electronic formation recently got added to the upcoming line-up for Future Echoes Festival 2024 in Sweden.
