The Martinez Twins Reveal Why They Don't Ask Each Other For Dating Advice
About this video
It can be hard enough for artists to find a degree of fame in their own countries; imagine trying to do it in a whole different country an ocean away! That's no sweat for the Martinez Twins, though. The talented twosome came all the way from Spain to be a part of Jake Paul's Team 10 group, and after gaining enough viral notoriety, they made a break on their own and haven't looked back as their success has only kept skyrocketing. Their YouTube channel now has a massive following, and they have been able to parlay their vlogs and prank videos into a music career. Young Hollywood joins Emilio and Ivan on Zoom, where they are in quarantine in their native Barcelona and still releasing new music. They tell us about the short film they made while in lockdown and spill the deets on the music video for their song "Paraiso" as well as their newest single "La Dieta"! They also reveal their dream collabs, plus they explain why they would never go to each other for dating advice and play a "Game of Lasts"!

Hi guys.
Hi.
What's up?
How are you guys?
How are you?
We're good.
I heard you guys are in Barcelona.
Yes, we are.
That time difference though, right? Insane. How is like communicating with people over here and doing press and stuff with such a big time difference?
Not that bad. Yeah, cuz we we try to to get the best hours for for us cuz right now it's um 8:00 a. m. So it's still fine. Yeah.
What are you guys would you say early birds or night owls?
Night hours.
Yeah.
What time do you usually go to bed?
Like 2:00, like 2:00 a. m.
What time do you usually wake up?
Uh 8:00 a. m. , 8:00, 7:00.
That's pretty good. You still get up early for going to bed so late.
To work out. And they opened the work out like pretty early so that's that's good.
So you start your day by working out and get up immediately work out?
Yeah, yeah.
Dang. Would you say that you're doing, I mean you're stuck at home together because of quarantine and everything. Would you say that you're still like are you doing more or less like together?
We do more. Yeah. Yeah, we do more cuz we spend more time together. So and we have things to to think about and it's just and we're here with friends too. We got locked down with our friends and our our filmmaker. So it's easy to make content and do a lot of things together.
So you still have a lot going on though for, you know, being like stuck at home like prior to everything opening up there. But the thing you posted of the flu. What was that? You were recording while on quarantine.
So we were shut we were in shutdown, we were locked down in in our house. And with our filmmaker, he has a Red, he has the this camera, this a Red camera. The Dragon. Yeah, Red Dragon. So it's pretty insane. So we were like, why we don't do something crazy while on quarantine, right? So we record a short film. We had to, it was kind of sketchy cuz we had to pay for for all the stuff that we needed. And we also uh wrote a story behind all of these. Someone someone helped us doing that cuz we we had to record in three days. Right. So it was pretty crazy. So we had to study and it was. Yeah, and do it and we were like actors. We never thought we never we never thought that we could do that but we did it.
Do you find that you like acting?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun cuz we were like directing and acting at the same time all of us. So it was pretty cool.
Well, you're acting, you're singing, you're making so much content. You do you do it all. You do it all. So your new single that you dropped, how do you pronounce it? The new one.
La Dieta.
La Dieta?
Dieta.
Okay, Dieta.
Dieta. Yeah, yeah, I got it. I got it. I'm a mess. I got it.
So what was the inspiration? And then you have Paraíso.
Paraíso.
Okay, I'm I'm not going to attempt that one. Okay.
Just say Paradise is fine.
Okay, for that music video, that one is a sick music video. You have like the cars in the beginning and then the girls text you. What was the inspiration behind that music video? Like who thought of that idea to do it that way?
Uh I mean, we we wrote the song. So so it's about the the club like going to a club, seeing a girl a girl and you fall in love uh and you fall in love with you know like first sight, you see that girl and you just want to hang out with her, you just want to be like next to her and talk to her. So yeah, so the the song is about that. You see the girl, you fall in love and you see all the boys around her that she she doesn't care. Like she just she's just with you. You know, for you. So you bring her uh to your home and friends and whatever. So it's more like like you fall in love and you want her. You want to get in a relationship. You you start thinking about like future, you know? So that that was our inspiration like our feelings. So it was easy to create a music video behind all of that cuz we it tells a story. So we with all the all our management and all the team, we could we created this idea. And we had a Benmar, our director. So he he created this all thing and it's like all the we like weird people and yeah, so it was crazy. It was crazy. It was it was our first time um on a music video like professional music video. So we were really nervous. There was a lot of people and we were shoot in LA. So it was it was.
I was going to ask if you guys were nervous. Were you guys nervous for it?
Yeah, we were really nervous.
For the song, like falling in love and like meeting someone out, is that based on a true story or that's just like things that you know everyone has gone through?
You know, you know it's kind of more like, I think everyone goes through that cuz when you go to a party, you're single, imagine you're single. And you go to a party and you see a lot of people, right? You see um you're going to see that boy or that girl that you just kind of fall in love with her or him, you know? So that was kind of like our idea for our first song. And then for La Dieta it's something very different. Yeah, it's about a loyal relationship, a loyal girl. You're from the single falling in love now you're in the relationship stage. And the next one's going to be talking about marriage or something. Or babies, I don't know. But yeah, the the new one La Dieta is about a a loyal girl, loyal relationship. Yeah. So it's more like uh what you want in life, you know? Yeah, you want to have that person, that that best friend next to you for forever, you know? So that's that's kind of what we talk about. And and we also talk about she breaks the diet with you because you know, like she breaks the rule. You know the diet is something that when when a girl's she's on a diet, it's because she just she's focused on that, you know? So so what we want to say is that she breaks the diet. She breaks the rules.
I like it. And then would you say that when it comes to like dating and stuff like that, you guys are constantly giving each other advice? Like do you go to each other for advice or your other friends?
I think I think for friends, yeah, to friends. Yeah cuz yeah cuz we're kinda like the same person. Yeah, we're the same person.
Right. Who's one person that has heard your music or that you'd want to hear your music that you would just like freak out if they were like, oh my god, like I love the music or someone that has done that already.
Yes, uh I have a friend that he he's a pretty big um musician in the Latin market. And he messaged me and he was like, yo, I love the music video for Paraíso. And I love the the song and also a lot of like social media stars. Yeah, also uh uh WDW to they're like uh DJs all over the world. So all of that. So it's more like it's insane to see people like that. Messaging you and saying like, yo that's sick, you know? Yeah.
And who's one artist that you'd want to collab with when it comes to music?
Oh my god. For me, I'll say J Balvin. Yeah, I love J Balvin. Yeah, I love his music. And for me, I would say Enrique Iglesias. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one's sick. Yeah, he's from Spain so.
Yeah, that'd be sick. You never know, you never know.
