The Boys

That's right. What's up? What's popping?

The Boys

You got me love struck. You got me love struck. You got me love struck.

Young Hollywood

Your single "Love Struck" has done really well. You guys definitely are getting a lot of fan exposure with that song. How's it been for you guys so far?

The Boys

Well like what you said it just keeps growing. And like everywhere we go we just are attracting new fans and trying to expand and going into new areas and just getting out there. That's all you really can do. We're lucky to have Asher in Fame. Um, Wesley do the Michael Jackson tribute on MTV. He's one of the few lucky ones. Um, Jared's been in the High School Musical. So we've been lucky to kind of branch out a little bit. We're actually missing a member too. He's in um. He's in New York now. He's doing a show, so he's.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

The Boys

Ryan Sanborn and Thayne Jasperson and some other people.

Young Hollywood

That's really cool that you guys all have different backgrounds and you've all been really experienced. So what is it like coming together? I mean what are the different things that you guys do to bring to the table as far as the group?

The Boys

I guess I bring a lot of the lead vocals, which has been nice. And but we all share a lot in this. And I mean Wesley choreographs all our music. I do most of the like choreography along with Niki.

Young Hollywood

V Factory. Where did you guys get the name? Um, where does it come from?

The Boys

Well it started off as The Factory, which is um, we based it off a club it's called The Sound Factory in New York and that's where um a lot of people like Madonna started off there. It was like a big huge kind of ravish kind of night club. So we started off being called The Factory 'cause we're a little older. We wanted a little bit of an edge to it. And then we added the V for a little um to add a little sex to it, a little sexiness.

Young Hollywood

You guys definitely have the mix of R&B pop sound. How do you like to describe it yourself if you were to say it in your own words?

The Boys

It's a dancey feel but like you know just music that party and dance to. We have the pop R&B. We have the hip-hop. We have the E-40 on our track, so we got like you know the dancey feel, you know so it's like we try to like and the ballads. I mean we really feel like we try to hit everybody.

Young Hollywood

Do you guys like being compared to the Backstreet Boys or the N Sync of the world?

The Boys

I mean you're obviously gonna compare us to them because there's five guys, five guys. But I mean.

Young Hollywood

How would you say you're different from them if you were to say that?

The Boys

What is today and more current. But I mean yeah we are five guys that sing and dance but you know we can't really get away from that.

Young Hollywood

Tell me have you ever been love struck and if you have uh what was that experience and who was it?

The Boys

Who was it? You wanna know who it was Asher? We got a spot, girl. Ah, I've been love struck many times. But oh what's a good one that never really love struck. Oh let you think for a minute. There's so many. There's so many times I just been like.

Young Hollywood

Who is your first love?

The Boys

Oh I mean. We'll actually my first love um she actually got married recently. Six months ago. So it's like okay you know as long as she's happy I'm cool with it.

Young Hollywood

What teenage girl would you have on your wall when you were when you were younger?
