Bernadette Albano and Rosie Mendoza are San Francisco-based pop duo Nineteenth Operator. Both are primarily students of pop music and mythology, but their distinct backgrounds create a genre-spanning repertoire influenced by Americana, jazz, and rock. The two share a penchant for the melodramatic, which drives their array of inspiration towards an honest picture of the cataclysm of early-twenties life. Their upcoming record, titled “Make Believe”, is a story about growing up.
