Boybreed is a music duo/group comprised of Two good looking twin brothers and we make beautiful Afro infused music.

Lol.. We are a different breed of Boys

Did you two grow up having an interest in music? Was it mutual?

Yea, we always have. We grew up in the same environment and under the same circumstances so we both were mutually influenced.

What was your family's reaction on your choice to do music? Did they give you all the support?

Haha..We had to keep it secret for a while. Remember my Dad not allowing us go to the studio once. But they’ve finally come to terms with it and given us  100% support.

Was the collabo with Patoranking on the 'Slow Remix' your breakthrough song?

The song “Slowly” itself was our break through song. Patoranking just made it bigger!

With degrees in Electrical engineering and Chemical engineering respectively, do both of you still practice engineering when not doing music?

More like Sound Engineering!

We think Love is the ultimate message. So we always try to encourage people to practice it.
