Career
Originally aiming for careers in basketball, both artists transitioned to music and began their professional journey in 2009. They signed with Sony Music and launched their debut album, My World, in 2010, with production by Luny Tunes. That same year, they appeared on "Rompiendo Cadenas," the leading single by Ana Bárbara, a Latin Grammy award recipient, and also released a remix of "Quiere Pa' Que Te Quieran" featuring Ivy Queen.
Their sophomore album, My World 2: The Secret Code, was released on February 12, 2013, showcasing collaborations with notable artists such as J Alvarez, Pitbull, Yomo, and Victor Manuelle. Among their most successful tracks are "Nadie Te Amará Como Yo," "Quiere Pa' Que Te Quieran," "Caliente," and "Pégate Más."
The partnership ended at the close of 2013. Following the split, Lenny Tavárez embarked on a solo path, working alongside producers Los De La Nazza on the mixtape El Imperio Nazza: Top Secret Edition, and issuing singles including "La Nena," "Fantasias," and "Tortura." In 2016, he released the track "Si Tu Cama Hablara," featuring Puerto Rican artist Cosculluela.
