Die beiden jungen Musiker lernten sich über das Internet kennen und beschlossen daraufhin, ein Duo zu formen. Als Benji & Fede veröffentlichten sie zunächst Cover auf YouTube. Beide stammten aus Modena, da Mascolo jedoch zwischenzeitlich einen zweijährigen Auslandsaufenthalt bei Verwandten im australischen Hobart absolvierte, waren sie zunächst hauptsächlich über das Internet in Kontakt. 2014 versuchten sie, in der Newcomer-Kategorie des Sanremo-Festivals anzutreten, sie schafften es jedoch nicht durch die Vorauswahl.

Bei einer durch einen Radiosender initiierten Auftrittsreihe auf öffentlichen Plätzen wurden sie von einem Talentscout von Warner Music Italia entdeckt und durch das Major-Label unter Vertrag genommen.
