The core of OurAfter was formed by singer/songwriter/keyboardist and guitarist John Phillips, guitarist Michael Dudley, and multi-instrumentalist Zhenon Zaia. Each member having come together from previous bands, projects, and musical backgrounds, to create their own original sound, which would incorporate elements of rock, pop, and electronic music
In the genesis of the group, the members began writing and developing music and ideas to flesh out their songs with Azarius Marat from Palm Beach, Florida, handling production duties. When the time came to select a drummer, they summoned Michaels friend and former bandmate Eli Hludzik. With Eli's wide range of styles and influences, along with his sharp percussion skills, he perfectly suited the sound that would become OurAfter.
Following the addition of Eli, OurAfter went into Sound Investments Recording Studio in Scranton, Pennsylvania with Azarius Marat, to begin work on their debut album. With Eli's drumming, Zhenon's bass playing, use of synthesizers, guitar texture ideas and effects, Michaels distinctive guitar style and sound, and John's vocal, synth, and guitar work, teamed with Azarius unique production techniques, the project was off to a good start.
Once tracking of the music was completed, production and tracking of the vocals began. During this period, producer/engineer Jeff Peters from Los Angeles, California worked on co-production of some of the songs, to add more elements to the constantly evolving sound of OurAfter.

Clyde was known to suggest ideas in the studio while the group were recording, especially ideas for guitar parts. Eventually, he was approached by OurAfter to be the third guitarist, an offer which he accepted. Clyde's tasteful guitar work turned out to be the missing element in OurAfter's sound. With his inclusion, the group was now complete.
