Inspired by Michael Jackson and Prince, as well as Ready For The World, Justin Timberlake, Drake and Travis Scott, the duo’s love of old-school funk, pop, and more modern forms of R&B is present in their music. Valencia’s production is clean and complex, blending Elizalde’s smooth, radio-ready R&B falsetto with modern trap elements and remixed ’80s pop textures to form DŌS’ unique, versatile sound.Both artists in DŌS (which means “two” in Spanish) were born in California and are of Latino descent. As family friends, connected by a longstanding bond between their fathers, Elizalde and Valencia soon began making music together, and were inspired to create their own signature pop and R&B sound that honoured and transgressed the boundaries of their heritage. With big releases in place for 2020, the talented young duo are poised to make their mark on the industry.
