Formation, signing with Interscope and Dancing on the Sun (2014–2017)

The group consists of vocalist and keyboardist Ruby Carr, who is from South Africa and was raised in Kenya; vocalist and bassist Natalia Panzarella, from Nashville, Tennessee and raised in Los Angeles. They met at a production team in Rock Mafia's studio while working in each member's individual projects. The girls met and started making music together and formed the group, then called Bahari.[7][8] They signed with Interscope Records and the first song they wrote, "Wild Ones", was released as their debut single on December 30, 2014.[9][8] It gained popularity online, reaching more than 40 million streams on Spotify and being featured in TV series Teen Wolf and The Royals.[10][11] The music video was released on April 5, 2016, directed by Darnell Williams.[12][13][14] They also appeared in the song "Addicted to a Memory", featured on Zedd's second studio album True Colors.[15]

Their debut extended play, Dancing on the Sun was released on May 13, 2016, with the title track being the first single.[16][17] Its music video, filmed in the Sequoia National Forest and directed by Marcus Haney was released as an Apple Music exclusive on May 5, 2018.[18][19][20] It impacted contemporary hit radio on May 10, 2018, and appeared on TV shows Supergirl and So You Think You Can Dance.[21][11] They also released music videos for the songs "Altar of the Sun"[22] and "Reasons", also directed by Haney.[23]

On December 7, 2018, Bahari announced on the band's official Twitter that Sidney Sartini had "made the choice to go her own way and leave Bahari." They added, "we support her with all of our hearts and love her endlessly."[36] Their last performance as a trio was October 18, 2018.[37]
