It didn’t take long for the pair to start working together and they hit it off immediately. They’ve been making music since 2015 and got their first platinum hit, Super Girl with Alle Farben. The duo is back with their latest single Samba featuring Louse 3rd and Sam Harper; take a listen here.
Samba is out now via Guesstimate and it’s available on all streaming platforms. YouNotUs knows how to get a party started, and their fans are a big part of that. Tobias and Gregor understand that without the people in front of the stage, the music wouldn’t be successful. That’s why they named themselves YouNotUs–because it’s all about the fans.
