PPLA: You were discovered after your song Rolex took off online. Did you ever expect to get millions of views on your video? What has it been like since your song went viral?
Ayo & Teo: Once the song was completed and we heard it, we thought it would do about 4 million. Other than that it was a surprise. Since going viral, we have stayed busy on the road meeting a lot of people and getting a lot of different opportunities.
PPLA: How did you come to work with Usher? Any future collabs in the works?
Ayo & Teo: Usher reached out to us to dance with him in his video and to teach him how to do the reverse. Yes, there are some collabs coming but we want to wait until it’s confirmed before we announce them.
PPLA: What has the biggest challenge been so far in your career?
