I Dont Know How But They Found Me (stylized in all caps), often shortened to IDKHow (stylized as iDKHOW),[2] is an American indie pop solo project based in Salt Lake City, Utah, fronted by singer-songwriter Dallon Weekes. It was originally formed as a duo in 2016 consisting of Weekes and drummer Ryan Seaman, former members of The Brobecks, until the latter's departure in 2023.[3]

Formed in secrecy, Weekes and Seaman denied the band's existence before promoting their debut EP 1981 Extended Play, released in 2018. The duo was described as "the hottest unsigned band in the world" on the cover of Rock Sound in March 2018,[4][5] before signing with Fearless Records. The band released their debut studio album Razzmatazz in 2020. After Seaman's departure in 2023, the band continued as the solo project of Weekes and their second studio album Gloom Division was released the following year.

While it was very sad to lose a friend of fifteen years, iDKHOW is very important to me. It's how I provide for my family, and I take that very seriously" (Tweet).
