Formation Tired of life in
Brooklyn, New York, DeWitt declined a promotion and instead resigned from his job in 2008 In a 2010 interview, DeWitt stated that he moved because "in Brooklyn, the price of living was such that you'd have to be working a full time job, and I found myself putting 50% effort into both that job and my music. Nashville allowed me to put 100% of my effort into music." In Nashville DeWitt met multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock, and the two founded Wild Cub with Morris, West, and Wilson in early 2012.
