ALTÉGO

ALTÉGO consists of UK-born twin brother, DJ/production duo, Michael and Lukas Fernandes-Pense. The duo merge musical extremes together, striking a balance between dancefloor-ready energy, pop universality, R&B drip, and hip-hop swagger. This approach has transformed the pair into a global phenomenon with north of 156+ million streams, 4 billion-plus TikTok plays, and acclaim from Variety, Forbes, and many more. Born to an Angolan-Portuguese mother and Austrian-Indian father, the guys grew up surrounded by music. Attending BIMM University, they explored their respective talents and unlocked another level of sonic synergy. The guys initially lit up TikTok with their mashup of Daddy Yankee and Lil Nas X, “Montero Gasolina.” Their Billie Eilish and Justin Timberlake concoction, “Cry Me A Lost Cause,” soundtracked one of Addison Rae’s videos—which spiked the view count again. However, “Toxic Pony” popped off as a global phenomenon in 2022, marrying “Toxic” by Britney Spears and “Pony” by Ginuiwine in a wild unholy matrimony. It eclipsed 130 million global streams and cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard R&B Chart. Along the way, they inked a deal with Arista Records and only picked up the pace. Now, the duo elevate again with tracks “Bling Bling” and now “Could Care Less.”
