Paula and Aitana Etxeberria, better known as twin melodyare the most famous ‘tiktokers’ in Spain. At just 24 years old and with over 17 million followers, the Basque twins are a hit wherever they go. In addition to revolutionizing social networks, it also Stopping in the music industry with the release of ‘Ciao’in collaboration with his new single Emma MuscatMalta’s representative at Eurovision 2022.
How did you work with Emma Muscat on this new single?
We are very happy, it is a song that we love very much. He has a very Italian style and he got us very excited. We also composed it ourselves.
At what age did you start composing?
We started composing at the age of 16. We love creating songs and there are several ways to do it. Sometimes we create a rhythm with the piano, then we put the lyrics to it, sometimes we do it more with the composer… It happened and we are very happy.
How did this collaboration come about? Did you know Emma?
Emma has seen our Instagram stories. We went to his profile, we saw that he was following us, and we started researching who he was. We saw that he also released the music and we liked his songs very much, so we offered to collaborate. He came to Spain and we were shooting video clips for three days.
You can also see that you had a lot of fun in that video… How was the shoot?
It was so cool! We shot at the gym, arcade and airport and had a great time.
Emma is the Malta representative at Eurovision 2022. Have you considered representing Spain?
The truth is if. We’ve talked about it and it looks like a great opportunity. People know us first and foremost for TikTok, because that’s where we went more viral, but we started with music on social networks. It would be a great opportunity for people to get to know us as singers as well. It’s true that it’s a big responsibility, but if you’re happy with the song and the show you’re directing, you’re welcome.
A complicated question… Do you like Emma’s Eurovision song more or Chanel’s song?
Each has its own. Chanel’s is very good, we love it, it’s a very European style song. A very detailed and international presentation. Emma’s is less of a party, but she has a sensual side and that’s pretty cool.
Which other artists would you like to collaborate with in the future?
If we start dreaming (laughs) we would love to work with Camilo, Sebastián Yatra, Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber… They are artists whose music we listen to and admire.
Do you have more musical projects in mind?
We are preparing a summer tour in Spain. We will offer another option for concerts, as these are usually sequential songs, but we want to increase interaction with the public. We will save TikTok, there will be different challenges and surprises.
How have you been balancing on TikTok all these years? You started from scratch and now millions of people follow you…
Everything was so unexpected. Even though there was no TikTok a few years ago, we are very happy with the support we received. It’s really great to be able to connect with our fans and make them happy.
Is it hard to keep up your working pace?
Sometimes we get little sleep (laughs). We have to organize our days well because it gets difficult.
Do you generally agree when creating content or do you have different visions of what you want to do?
We have different visions for many things. There are times when we do or talk and reason about it with ‘rock, paper, scissors’. We always come to an agreement in the end.
Do you have other plans for the future beyond social networks?
We currently have six months of training. There should be face-to-face applications and we’ll be leaving it for another year as we work all day. But we’ve already finished almost the entire race.
You also collaborate on ‘El hormiguero’. What does working on such a program mean to you?
Going out in ‘El hormiguero’ is one of the things that excites us the most in our lives. We are so grateful, it’s a great opportunity for more people to get to know us. They treat us so well and our part is so much fun.
What about Pablo Motos?
So beautiful and so funny! Also, it points to everything.
Would you like to participate in other programs such as ‘I hear your face’?
‘Your face looks familiar to me’ we love it, we’re open to that possibility (laughs) and we have more surprises to uncover.
Do you see ‘Survivors’?
The truth is no, it would be very difficult.
