Rather, they gravitated toward their distributed like of music, ultimately studying jointly at Berklee University in Boston, where they produced a band inspired by serves as disparate as Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, and the authorities. They self-released an eponymous debut record in ’09 2009 before shifting back again to San Juan. Slimmed right down to a duo, they truly became enamored of modern electronic styles like dembow and reggaeton and transformed their design to a high-energy metropolitan audio, with bilingual lyrics in both Spanish and British; relentless gigging boosted their profile, and viewers cherished their music and sexy, hard-partying picture. After touring the U.S. and bagging a high-profile support slot machine with Shakira, they transferred to Miami in 2012 and had been agreed upon by Capitol, who released their sophomore record Malas Mañas (“NEGATIVE TRAITS”).
