The Chainsmokers

1) The Chainsmokers are an American DJ duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall.

2) They chose the name The Chainsmokers because it seemed clever and the domains were open. They never thought they were going to be this big.

3) They love music of all genres and find inspiration everywhere. Their plan is to keep evolving and to keep making music that people won't expect.

4) They built their career around SoundCloud but will be leaving the platform as SoundCloud has failed to reach mutural terms with them and their label.

5) They claim to sell crack. Hmm..

6) They have plans on releasing a track every month in the foreseeable future.

7) Before getting onto the stage, some artists have vocal warm ups and some sweat it out, but for this duo, it's a different scenario. Imagine them having a few drinks (or a lot in a number of shows) before they turn the stage upside down, or punch each other in the face just to hype the party monsters in them. They also drown themselves with either steak or espressos to turn their bodies up for a massive and unforgettable moment upstage!

8) When they're not in the music scene, what do these two actually do with their lives? You would think they'd be out partying, living the night, or just doing random things with their friends but nope, not at all. These two have a different side that we don't usually get to see! Alex is actually a bookworm who loves to read novels, while Drew on the other hand, loves video games, well "Call of Duty" to be exact. Well isn't that a surprise!

9) Before all the music, the parties, and the mixing, they were total strangers to each other. According to a telephone interview they had with Up to the Sun, they were just introduced to each other by a friend of a friend. Who would've thought that these two would be selling thousands of copies after just sharing the same passion for music? In the same interview, it was mentioned that Drew was mostly into pop tracks and Alex was the one DJing in New York. After two months of mashing mixes, they found themselves doing more legit tracks together!

10) They chose a simple and recognizable title for their hit #SELFIE on purpose. In a world where people are consistently bombarded and overloaded with ads and information, they wanted their song to serve as a tool for promotion and to deliver a direct message.
