Despite their youth, the Canarian brothers
Adexe
(2005) and
Nau
(2002) have triumphed for years with their music.
They began their career as children who shared versions of Sebastián Yatra or Daddy Yankee, artists they admired.
Now,
they employ their parents and embark on international tours with millions of followers
.
Although the tables are noticeable, they assure that his life is not far from that of any boy his age.
Question.- Your career started five years ago and you have done quite well, are you still studying?
Adexe-
Yes, I am right now in 4th year of ESO.
Nauzet
- I have just entered the first year of university.
I am studying Philosophy
, which seems to me to be a super interesting career and which can contribute a lot to me as a person.
Q.- Why did you want to continue your studies? It's no longer about compulsory education
N.-
Because I consider it very important.
Although I believe that the music is, in quotes, settled and we already have a certain career, you never know when it will end and you always have to have plan B. Although it is also plan A because I never considered it to stop studying.
A.-
I also want to continue studying.
I still don't know what but the strongest option is to do an audiovisual cycle.
Q.- What weight have your parents had in your career in music?
A.-
Well, they have always helped us, they have been the main engine.
We
started doing
covers
and the idea was theirs
.
They work with us, they are part of the team
and they are very important to us.
For example, we compose songs with other lyricists and my father helps us a lot.
Gives many ideas.
And then everything: clothes, hair ...
N-
They are there for whatever.
They are not just part of the team or just our parents.
They are part of the whole.
Q.- But do they help you while they have their jobs or do they work only with you?
A.-
They are working with us.
Q.- You have more than 1.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 11 million subscribers on YouTube, you have done international tours ... Are you aware of the success?
N.-
When we started we didn't see that it could go so far and we still haven't assimilated it.
A.-
Exactly.
You start to think and right now
we have 3.5 billion total views on YouTube and it's just crazy
.
In other words, it's easy to say, but there are seven billion people in the world.
It is brutal.
Q.- And how do you handle it psychologically? Doesn't fame go to your head?
N.-
It is that we see that it is not ours.
It's not that we make the best music in the world, it's thanks to the people who listen to us.
We are clear that we would not be anyone if we did not have so many people supporting us.
A.-
But let's see, we also make good music.
N.-
I have never said otherwise, but simply that there are many people behind that.
We are not only Adexe and Nauzet.
Q.- You have always defended making lyrics "for the whole family", do you feel that you have to be very careful with what you say?
N.-
It is not being careful, it is our way of being.
What we are delivering is what we think.
Q.- So what do you think of the criticisms that say that macho lyrics can cause young people to have macho attitudes?
A.-
It's like when it is said that with violent video games people are going to be violent.
It has nothing to do with it.
N.-
Music does not raise a child.
They are more like parents.
Well, not just parents.
It is the adult environment you have.
Although, obviously, I believe that the lyrics have to be the best possible so that everyone can listen to them and not feel discriminated against.
Q.- Have you ever felt that you are not taken seriously by your youth?
N. -
Whether you like it or not that has an influence.
We do get the label and sometimes I feel that our music is not given the opportunity for that.
Because it is thought that we are children, young people, and we are more related to that.
And I don't think it has anything to do with it.
Q.- And how do you see your future?
A.-
Having a good time.
I can't tell you a place or a genre, just having a good time.
