Danny Cudd and Markus “Offbeat" Johansson met in 2010 and formed Hang Massive soon after. They were one of the first acts to become known for playing the Hang, and quickly gained followers for their music videos, becoming "the epitome of the Hang".[1] The duo released its original composition "Once Again" on YouTube in 2011, garnering more than 49 million views as of 2020.[2]
Hang Massive released two live albums and a studio album, Distant Light, in 2016.[citation needed] The duo has toured in Europe, Russia and Australia.[3] Their compositions are both exclusively for the Hang, as well as collaborations with other musicians and vocalists.[2]
