Yaroslav Vynnytsky (born 1985) and Marc Joseph (born 1987) started working together in 2006 sharing a common interest in music production. Soon after, they started a YouTube channel showcasing their in-studio performances and documenting their life in the music industry. Their first production placement was on R. Kelly's "Double Up" Album titled "Get Dirty" featuring Chamillionaire. The album debuted at no.1 on the Billboard 200 earning the team their first platinum plaque. They followed up with their second production placement on Kelly Rowland's "Ms. Kelly" album with a track titled "Love". In 2009, Mysto and Pizzi produced a remix of the Rockwell/Michael Jackson song "Somebody's Watching Me" which was used as the theme music for GEICO's "Kash" campaign. In 2010, the R&B Group Brutha released their single "One Day on This Earth" which was a track produced by Mysto & Pizzi and written by R. Kelly. The record peaked at no.94 on the US R&B charts.
