It's been a big week for choreography and creative Brian Puspos. He just released his latest track, "Celebrate" just in time to celebrate his own wedding to digital creator, Aja Dang in a beautiful beach view wedding. The pop track speaks on how excited he is to have the time of his life from now until forever. In a way, the track is to celebrate their love and the future they'll have together. Listen to the full track now!
To also help celebrate with Brian and his new bride, Aja were a couple of familiar faces like his fellow Young Lion, Ian Eastwood and fellow creator Timothy Chantarangsu. It was so nice to see a reunion with these OGs and of course it wouldn't be a party without some insane dance choreography. Luckily for us, Timothy was able to share some of the shenanigans that went on behind the scenes. Cheers to the newly married couple and by the looks of it, they kept the celebration going all night long.
