He recently did an interview with The Toronto Star discussing life in LA which he describes as “a dream come true.”

Dayo also discussed his Degrassi past, saying: “The show is kind of in my past, but it’s not because I’m still very good friends with Amanda Stepto, who used to play Spike, Cathy (Keenan) who used to play Liz.
