Dani and Jesus (twins) they have been the soundtrack to millions of young people around the world with their songs. They have been showing us their talent since 2014 and from an early age they managed to sneak into the charts. But in 2021, they decided to take a break along the way to regain their strength and return with one of their most anticipated projects.
arrive like this Drink X Drinkits collaboration with Zzoilo, which brings pop/rock rhythms with which they have shown that they bring everything to start a new musical era. About that and the changes they’ve been going through all this time, Gemeliers told us about it in LOS40. So if you don’t want to miss what they told us, keep reading.
Question (Q): Guys, do you bring Drink x Drink. How did the subject arise and why are you collaborating together?
Answer (A): (Dani) It was something super spontaneous, super original. It was a magical night, we met, we had a very special connection and we went to celebrate that we loved each other very much, that we had a precious friendship. One thing leading to another, we ended super late and my brother had the brilliant idea to say that the situation we were living in was just that, drinking for drinking, going out just to go out and it was too late. And instead of going home, we went to the studio because what Jesus said sounded like a good idea. It came out. It wasn’t forced.
(Jesús) The thing with Zzoilo is that at the time we were planning to do the remix of our single A million and in the end it didn’t come out, we sat in the studio, we figured out what to do, like that, and in the end we ended up making a new song that we think is going to bring us a lot of joy, that people will finally see us under another facet. We come loaded with music, wanting people to listen to it, dance to it.
Q: What has Zzoilo brought to the subject?
A: Zzoilo is very fresh, he had very clear ideas. He played a key role in the subject and the truth is that everything happened with such a good atmosphere that he came out alone. He brought a lot to the subject and we are very happy with the result. Also, our manager, who is Chris Zadley, produced with great pleasure. There is also a producer who was the one who also did the mix and it is a producer of Justin Bieber and we counted on him.
Q: You collaborate with Chris Zadley. What is unique about working with him?
A: You learn a lot because we’re also unaccustomed to the fact that they almost always told us how to do things, they always gave us directions. And he taught us that we own our project. It’s one of the most precious things that Chris has given us, apart of course the friendship, that the whole problem of his management has been practically the same as with Zzoilo, something very spontaneous, very credible. We met while composing and in the end he ended up being our friend and then our mangaer.
Q: You are back. What did you use all this break time for?
A: It helped us a lot because we learned to find our sound, what we want to project now. It gave us a lot of time to think, to get rid of the burden of many problems that we had on us, many leeches. To detoxify you from all these people who were not good for us, who were taking us away, rather than adding to them. Now we come with a much clearer mind, with a spectacular, unbeatable team and that fresher sound. It also gave us time to discover ourselves as composers, we started to give shivers in the composition and now almost everything, almost 85% of everything we do, we do.

Q: Is this song the beginning of a new era?
A: We don’t focus on just one genre. We play to work other different genres. We have a lot of music to offer, a lot of singles. God willing, we will also enter into good collaborations and we are very happy with the result of the following songs that you will listen to. International collaborations, God willing.
Q: You took the family to the professional. What is the key to enduring?
A: (Jesus) I think the key is to be twins. If we were asecas brothers it wouldn’t have been the same, but the twin connection is different.
(Dani) It’s true that we have our differences because Jesus, for example, is the calculating part, he’s the one who is hand in hand with Chris. However, I focus a little more on the artistic part. I prefer to enter the studio, also compose with Chris, who has won paradise. It costs, huh. It was difficult for us to assimilate more or less the priority orientation that everyone has. But we generally get along very well. And at least in the subject Drink x Drink We have all been to one. It’s a very cool song, that people will dance a lot and sing a lot. To enjoy with friends, to go out, to cry a little for that person too.

Q: Now that you’re back, what changes have you noticed in the industry since you haven’t released any music?
A: I think today’s music has changed a lot, apart from the fact that we are also very influenced, especially in Spain, by Argentina at the moment, which is blowing it up. All of Latin America has new sounds. Above all, the themes are now shorter in time. Before, you released a song and maybe it lasted a year, and now you have to be in constant movement in music, release a lot of content and we have to join in this change too. We were used to releasing records. Now obviously…maybe you’ll think about it later, but of course releasing a lot of singles, a lot of songs, giving the audience a lot of content, new lyrics…Before, we focused on realization of an album with 12 songs, concerts, and all very square. . Now we’ve learned that no, the industry is changing and what people need is a lot of music, dance and content.
Q: Will you also return to the stage?
A: What we want the most is to get on stage. This is where you can convey what the song is about. Giving him energy and having people give it to you when you sing is the best thing we have in the career. We will soon be back on stage.
