In Sync with Synchro music is an interview series in which I put our artists and clients in the spotlight.
At Synchro music, everything revolves around collaboration, creativity, and building a distinctive sound. In this series, we give the people behind the music a voice — sharing their background, creative process, ambitions, and the path they are carving within the music industry.
From producers and bands to songwriters and performers, each interview offers a unique insight into the stories behind the tracks and the collaboration with Synchro music.
In this edition of In Sync with Synchro music, I speak with Dos Hermanos — the musical duo of two singing and rapping brothers from Haarlem. Surrounded by music from a young age, their passion is evident in everything they create. With a strong hip-hop foundation, a distinctive sound, and an impressive résumé — including dozens of tracks for Het Klokhuis — they have become an unmistakable presence in the Dutch music landscape.

🎤 Introduction
“We are Dos Hermanos! Two singing and rapping brothers from Haarlem who create, write, and perform music together.”
Although they have been working seriously as a duo for around ten years, music has been part of their lives for as long as they can remember. That’s no coincidence — music runs deep in the family. Their father plays multiple instruments and sings, and other family members, from Aruba to the Netherlands, are also active in music. It was quite literally ingrained in them from an early age.
🎹 From First Chords to a Distinctive Sound
Their musical journey began with keyboard and guitar lessons. From there, their love for hip-hop grew — both classic and contemporary. This blend of influences still forms the foundation of their sound today: energetic, musical, and always driven by a clear identity.
⚙️ The Creative Process
Dos Hermanos works closely together on their music. They write as a team, with Lorenzo often taking the lead in production — though Joel is equally capable. While they used to handle everything themselves, they now entrust the mixing and mastering to Synchro Music.
“We handle the production, writing, and recording ourselves, but the mixing and mastering is done by Rob. What a legend — always on point!”
On average, a track takes about one full day in total hours, spread across multiple days. Efficient, yet with plenty of room for creativity.
📺 From Talent Show to Het Klokhuis
Their collaboration with Het Klokhuis began after participating in Giels Talentenjacht. From their very first application, they were invited for a guest performance on De Wereld Draait Door. From there, things moved quickly — phone calls, emails, and eventually a collaboration with Het Klokhuis.
To date, they have created over 50 tracks for the program, including music videos — a journey they look back on with pride.
🚀 Ambitions
Their goals for the future are clear: keep releasing music, perform as much as possible, and continue to grow. And who knows…
“Maybe one day, our own label for the next generation.”
🎢 Fun Fact
During the video shoot for Achtbaan, Joel turned out to be slightly less enthusiastic about… roller coasters. The solution? A stand-in.
“If you look closely, you can spot it! Meanwhile, there was an elderly woman who rode the coaster six times to get the perfect shot. Joel really wasn’t having it.”
