The 17-year-old, who is currently signed to Capitol Records, talks about his best dance moves and heading back to school.
"Watch Me" was originally recorded as a 15-second Instagram video. Did you think it would get this big after you recorded a full version of the song?
Yeah, I knew that it was a banger because everybody already liked it. In the video, which I recorded on my phone, somebody was beating on the desk at school. I took that same beat to [producer] Bolo and he went off of that and made a different beat. Once the audience gives you feedback, that's how you know.
