The Twins Are From Gary, Indiana

According to The New York Times, the twins hail from Gary, Indiana. The Chicago Tribune reported that they record their videos in a “makeshift studio” in their bedroom.

“I knew if I stayed committed, it would come. I just never figured it would come so fast,” Tim told The Tribune. “It’s amazing that this all blew up with so many people watching us now. I think it’s because how young we are and we love and appreciate the older music, giving it a chain reaction.”

It was Tim’s goal to become a YouTube star. “I always wanted to be a YouTuber, so I finally took it serious after I dropped out of college,” he said to the Trib.
