THE BOTS, Mikaiah Lei (17) and Anaiah Lei (13) were born to parents of Chinese and Afro-Caribbean descent in Los Angeles, CA during the mid 90's. Currently in their teens, both brothers attend Schools in the City of Glendale. Their schools provide challenging music programs which they participate in (The brothers are well verse in multiple music instruments). But most of their musical talents are self-taught do to their motivation, love and passion for music.
Between schoolwork, performing, recording or just hanging out being teenagers; THE BOTS continue to be heavily involved in everything music oriented that their schools and community have to offer. They never loose focus on schoolwork (Education Is A Must). They will often spend their free time writing and composing their ORIGINAL tunes.
Anaiah’s love for percussion and Mikaiah’s adoration and respect for guitars is obvious and captivating to witness. Their music is the Non-manufactured truth! Their sound dips into Punk, Ska and Rock. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, The XX, LA’s Wasted Youths, Vampire Weekend, Avenged Sevenfold (to name only a few) have all been “Instrumental” in their journey.
What started out as a simple desire to entertain, evolved into vital outlet of expression and avenue for communication for the brothers and before long, their music took on an identity of its own: THE BOTS.
