The Divys (pronounced The Dih-veez) are a Philadelphia-based electronic-pop-rock duo known for blending New Wave nostalgia with crisp, modern pop hooks. Formed in 2004 through a musicians-wanted ad, the pair connected instantly over their love of John Waters films—naming the band after Divine—and their shared influences from MTV’s early era and the Second British Invasion.

Drawing from Kliffee’s rock background and William’s dance music roots—including his early work with legendary producer Bobby “O” Orlando—the duo built a sound that fuses sharp synths and guitar hooks, big choruses, and emotional storytelling. Their breakout moment came with “Freddie Are You Single”, whose 90s-inspired remix earned them a 2006 John Lennon Songwriting Contest win.

The Divys continued writing and recording throughout the 2000s, releasing multiple collections including This Is What You Get and The Divys, featuring fan favorites like "Breathless." After a brief break, the duo reignited their creative spark in 2020, marking a bold return with "World On Fire," written during the global pandemic.

They followed with a steady flow of releases including their first holiday song, "A Thousand Christmas Trees."  With more electronic-pop-rock singles on the way, The Divys continue to evolve while staying true to the melodic, emotionally charged sound that has defined them for two decades.
