Saha discovered western music at a young age, through her father. Despite it being her passion, singing or playing music is banned for women in Iran. In May 2013, aged 21, Saha left Iran alone after illegally recorded music of her singing was uploaded on to the internet. Finding her way as an asylum seeker in Brisbane, Australia, Saha performed at the Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BEMAC) and met the Scattered People band. In 2015 Saha moved to Melbourne and continued to return to Brisbane to record and film, and in 2018 while in Melbourne Saha, received her Temporary Protection Visa.  Sadly, after a long struggle with her mental health, exacerbated by her visa status uncertainty, Saha returned to Iran in late 2019 where she now lives quietly with her parents. Her musical dreams unfulfilled for now.

In June 2012, 23-year-old Mas fled Iran in just three days fearing arrest and imprisonment after he was discovered playing western music and singing about the unfairness of the government. He travelled with his father by air to Indonesia and later by boat to Australia. Mas arrived at Christmas Island, before being transferred to the Wickham Point Detention Centre in Darwin. After several months he was transferred again, to the Brisbane Immigration Transit Accommodation (BITA), where he met the Scattered People band. After extended uncertainty and restrictions, Mas was released and became a regular in the Scattered People, recording and performing with the band.  After four years he was granted a Temporary Protection Visa.  He co-owns a successful business in Brisbane employing 8-12 people, works six days a week and sings when he can.
