The Grammy-nominated artist-producer duo is formed by Jean Rodríguez and Danny Flores, two multifaceted musicians who decided to unite their knowledge and experience in a bilingual musical project innovative.

While working together on the production of Jean's third solo album, Rodríguez and Flores decided to become a musical project and a team of permanent production.

DANNY FLORES

DANNY FLORESDanny Flores' love for music led him to explore the piano as a form of expression from an early age. From there he moved on to other areas of the musical exercise such as composition, songwriting, assembly management and event production live. His successful career is based not only on his deep knowledge of music, but also on the development of valuable interpersonal relationships with the artists with whom he has worked, in an industry in which competitiveness would seem to be more important than art.

In addition, his understanding of the song and the sensitivity of the artists, has brought him multiple credits in musical shows for television like The American Idol Experience (Walt Disney Entertainment), Yo Soy el Artista (NBC Telemundo) and La Banda (Univision).
