In December 2020, Kira Kosarin showcased her vocal talents by covering the HONNE song “Location Unknown” in a video on her YouTube channel. But she wasn’t alone; she was joined by another performer named Max Chester. In addition to harmonizing with Kosarin, Chester provided musical accompaniment by playing a keyboard. That same month, Chester shared a photo of himself and Kosarin on his Instagram account. He was playfully poking Kosarin’s bottom lip while the couple soaked in a hot tub. “Step 1: fall in love w your best friend step 2: *beeblbweeblbeeblbeebl*,” the caption read.
According to his website, Chester is a composer and conductor from the UK who divides his time between Boston and London. He’s been playing piano since he was a child and studied film scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Kosarin regularly appears on Chester’s Instagram page, and he even shared how they fell in love in a post celebrating their anniversary. “Like all good stories it began with salted watermelon and eye contact, and like all good stories you have made every page since breathtaking and inevitable,” he wrote. “What an honor to live each day with your beautiful hand in mine. I will always hold it carefully, but never too tight.”
The couple musically meshed so well that they started co-writing songs together, including the track “Parachute (Plan B)” from Kosarin’s “Something New” EP. The song is, unsurprisingly, about falling in love.
