The Ernst twins, Max and Spencer, grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, and displayed a passion for music from an early age. They formed a rock band called Upslide during middle school and performed locally in the Washington, D.C., area for several years. Their talent attracted the attention of Magus Entertainment, a New York-based management company, who secured them a publishing deal with Cherry Lane Music. While attending Gonzaga College High School, they formed a pop duo called Trust Fall and began touring in different parts of the country. It was during a performance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., in 2007 that they met Chelsea Lee, who would become an integral part of the group. In 2009, Chelsea signed as a solo artist with Atlantic Records, and in the same year, Max came out as gay to his brother, marking a significant personal milestone. Chelsea and Spencer initiated a romantic relationship in 2010.
After completing high school, the Ernst twins deferred college to pursue a record deal with Epic Records, which ultimately fell through. Subsequently, they both enrolled at the University of Maryland. During their college years, they formed a folk rock duo called The Walking Sticks and released their debut EP, "World So Bright," in 2012. The album showcased an acoustic roots rock sound and was recorded live.
Around 2011, Lee joined The Walking Sticks after ending her solo contract with Atlantic Records. The group underwent a significant style change, transitioning from folk rock to dream-pop, and released their second EP, "Send the Night," in late 2013.
In March 2016, The Walking Sticks changed their name to Shaed to reflect their evolving musical direction. They signed with Photo Finish Records in June 2016 and embarked on a tour with Marian Hill and Vérité later that year. In September 2016, Shaed released their debut EP under the new name, titled "Just Wanna See." The band gained further exposure when their single "Name On It" was featured in a Victoria's Secret commercial in May 2018. In April 2017, they toured as an opener for Bishop Briggs.
In September 2017, the band members moved in together and began recording their second EP, "Melt," in a home studio. Their breakout single, "Trampoline," was released on May 18, 2018, and gained significant attention. Shaed released "Melt" on September 21, 2018, through Photo Finish Records. The song "Trampoline" was also featured in an Apple MacBook Air commercial on October 30, 2018. In October 2018, Chelsea Lee and Spencer Ernst got married in Arlington, Virginia.
Shaed's single "No Other Way" was released on October 16, 2020, via Photo Finish Records, continuing their journey as a band, exploring their unique blend of indie pop and dream-pop elements.

Shaed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're never by my side
I knew this would happen
No one to hold me when I cry
Oh I wanna party with you
Why oh why won't you tell me the truth?
I got dizzy drinking whiskey with myself
I thought we were friends, I
Thought you were by my side (oh well)
A quarter to midnight
I'm starting to think you flat out lie
Oh I wanna party with you
Why oh why won't you tell me the truth?
I got dizzy drinking whiskey with myself
I got dizzy drinking whiskey with myself
Stay at my place
I wanna party with you
Pray all day
I wanna tell you the truth
I got dizzy drinking whiskey with myself
I got dizzy drinking whiskey with myself
I got dizzy, so dizzy
I'm dizzy with myself (myself)
Dizzy, so dizzy
I'm dizzy with myself
The song "Dizzy" by SHAED is a lament about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is alone and wishes that her partner were by her side. She knew that this would happen, but is still upset about it. She wonders why her partner won't tell her the truth, and then reveals that she got dizzy drinking whiskey alone. The singer thought that they were friends and feels betrayed by the lies. The chorus repeats the desire to party with the partner and the frustration of not knowing the truth.
