Discovering both had much in common despite their diverse backgrounds, Piel was formed shortly after musicians Jonathan Burkes and Tiki Lewis met at a nightclub in Echo Park. Jonathan (bass, guitar, backing vocals) is formally trained and Tiki (lead vocals) a "naturally-born" singer. Burkes is a native Angeleno from West Los Angeles and Lewis grew up on the south side of Chicago in the Harold Ikes projects.

As active musicians, both were familiar with the L.A. shark tank of bands, and able to attract the right folks to get their own fin. Burkes introduced Lewis to longtime associate Sawtelle Studios drummer Kenny Ramirez, with whom they worked as a three piece, resonating melodies and lyrics into lofts, art studios, speakeasies and warehouse to a growing fan base. It was at one of these events Piel caught the attention of Ukrainian guitarists Yegor Mytrofanov, and with his assistance were able to play a string of shows in Ukraine, swimming their growing following into international waters.
