In 1997, Suzanne Mosson, a back-up singer for Swedish singer Dilba, met Patrick Tucker, then a studio and tour musician, in Stockholm and decided to try their luck as a team. They rented a tiny rehearsal studio, acquired an 8-track recorder and a cheap red plastic organ and started writing and recording. After a year, the duo decided to take a break. Tucker became a member of the Murlyn Music song-writing team and wrote a few hits such as Because of You by 98 Degrees and Only For You by Ronan Keating. Meanwhile, Mosson composed a tune that was to become Shine On, a track on the Standfast album.
