BY2: One Flavor, Two Sensations!

By Menreet Kaur

It seems like the online portal has unleashed yet another awesome talent. This time, they go by the name of BY2. They've got a voice beyond their age and dance moves to match. Did I mention they were twins too? Right, let's roll back the wagging tongues. These Singaporean born-and-bred sisters, Yumi Bai and Miko Bai, know what it takes to cause ripples on the digital platform.

They have visited and resided in 3 eye-opening cities in Asia - Taipei, Tokyo and Beijing and picked up the valuable skills and lessons from elites all over the region. And they sure know how to beat the master at their own game.

BY2's debut in China's by2girl.51.com has resulted in jaw-dropping numbers! Within just 24 hours of their launch, they garnered over 350,000 views and 11,500 comments from registered users. They even overhauled popular artists like S.H.E, F.I.R and Mayday on Taiwan's #2 Star Blogger community PIXNET Hall of Fame! Their breathtaking dances have also caught the attention of millions all over Taiwan, Singapore, China and Malaysia.

"No singer from Singapore has started out and managed to conquer the entire Chinese pop market... they really stood out with their bubbly charm, dance moves and unique bond", said the duo's label Regional A&R Manager, Billy Koh.

BY2's hit single "Buy Buy Buy" video premieres exclusively on MTV Asia Channel at 6pm (GMT +8) today (April 21). Or watch it right here!
