The 28-year old singer said “I reached out a little while ago. His career was moving at such a mental rate, and I literally reached out as another fellow Irish creative. I wanted to say ‘hi’ and I hoped he was enjoying the madness. I basically just hoped that he was in a good place with it, so that was it.”

As their bromance is flourishing, their creative ideas are beginning to cumulate. Who knows, maybe Mescal will try for a Grammy next.
