Laze & Royal also known as Bennett & Justyn are a platinum-selling American production duo from Hollywood, California. The group is made up of twin brothers, Bennett Armstrong and Justyn Armstrong,[1] both of whom are currently part of the musical group My Crazy Girlfriend.[2]

Background

Born to an African-American father, who sang tenor for The Platters and an Austrian mother from Vienna, Austria (herself a classical pianist and stage singer), the brothers were raised in Beverly Hills, CA by their mother. "Our mom was always playing everything in the house from Al Green to Kenny G, or The Platters", says Bennett. "Of course for us like every other young kid at first we were all about Michael Jackson. Then through our older brother Jeff we got into Snoop, N.W.A, Sublime, Eve 6 and Nirvana."[citation needed]

Having traveled the country on multiple nationwide tours and collaborating in the studio with Bruno Mars, Kesha, Kara Dioguardi, The Writing Camp, Mitch Allen, The Smeezingtons, Myah Marie, Brian Kennedy, E-40, Christina Milian, The Game, Baby Bash, Polow Da Don, Chris Brown, Yung Berg, Tyga, VIC, Hurricane Chris, Scott Storch, DJ Unk, Cherish, along with scoring many major movie and television shows (CSI: Miami, Four Brothers, Barbershop 2, Bring it On 2, Like Mike 2, etc.), BENNETT & JUSTYN began their career at the age of 11 when they were discovered by producer Christopher "Tricky" Stewart (Producer of Rihanna's "Umbrella", Beyonce's "Single Ladies", Justin Bieber's "Baby" and more).

In 2008, their song "Like A Pistol" grabbed the attention of world famous songwriter/producer and newly appointed judge on American Idol, Kara DioGuardi. Having created platinum hits for artists including Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, and Santana, DioGuardi fell in love with Bennett & Justyn right away.

Bennett & Justyn are now part of the pop supergroup My Crazy Girlfriend signed to Warner/Chappell Music Publishing.

They produced the platinum selling 2015 song "I" for K-Pop superstar Taeyeon from Girls Generation on SM Entertainment. The YouTube video surpassed 40 Million Views.
