Timeline
Formation
In 2022, Dunwich Heroes guitarist and solo artist Keanu Bicol came together with the band's drummer Ricky Juarez to form a new two-piece band, with Keanu coming up with the acronym name INOHA. After playing at a few local open-mic venues, fellow artist Christian Young (stage name ImTrying) reached out to the duo on Instagram, offering to be a bassist if the two would need one. With Chris and Keanu already being fans of each other's solo work, the band happily agreed and had a rehearsal with him, before having him permanently join the band.
Whilst having thoughts for scouting a second guitarist, Keanu ran into Gavin Gonzalez at a show that featured their respective bands. After talking for a while about their music, Gavin mentioned that, while he played drums in multiple bands at the time, he felt he was mainly a guitar player. Hearing this, Keanu invited him to play with them sometime, to which Gonzales obliged happily. Similar to Chris' experience, after his first rehearsal with the band he was welcomed in indefinitely.[5]
