E2 in an exclusive interview: Giolí & Assia is a dj duo with music videos and live youtube shows with over 25 million views. They started their music careers separately but found each other and soon became resident djs at the biggest club in Ibiza - and the world.
They took time out of their world tour schedule to talk about how they went from not knowing how to dj to become resident djs at the world's biggest club in 3 weeks, life as a touring dj couple, what is misunderstood about being an artist, and building a business as a musician, among many other things.
