Animal Tonic

About

Animal Tonic came to be when Stella and Adam met through a mutual friend, in 2024, and decided to pursue a songwriting collaboration that had no real end goal in mind. Their immediate and undeniable creative spark led to a flurry of songs being written and they were struck by how quickly the songs came together and how naturally their musical instincts aligned and they thought, “maybe this could be a band?” As the songwriting and the vision of making it a band expanded Stella and Adam knew the music they were creating would need a rhythmic “voice”, a drummer whose style could elevate the songs they had written. Enter Jadon Bailey, whose almost lyrical approach to drumming brought movement, space, and intensity to the songs. Jadon also brought a “singing voice” which proved to be a perfect complement to Stella’s and Adam’s voices. All three voices together became a three-way harmony that felt both raw and cohesive, it had “chemistry” and the jam sessions together led to more songs being written and they quickly set up to record and capture the energy and connection they had has a band. That initial chemistry became the foundation of what would soon evolve into Animal Tonic.
