hello

On Sept 11, 2001, Nate Borofsky, Dorris Muramatsu, and Tylan Greenstein first came together as Girlyman – or intended to. The three singer-songwriters already lived together in a cramped Brooklyn apartment and had played together for years informally. “We had this big plan to rehearse that day as a new band, giving up our old projects after too many disappointments in the music business. I remember that morning I was complaining about it as fire engines kept driving by outside,” remembers Ty. Finally, I said, ‘What the hell is going on?’ and we turned on the TV.” 

In the uncertain days that followed, the three friends came together to make music simply for the joy of it. “Basically we just wanted to be ourselves and have fun,” says Nate. “And we decided that that’s all that really mattered.” The philosophy stuck.
