99goonsquad Name

The name “Goonsquad” came from their neighbor who would say “goonsquad rolling up” every time he saw them walking home from school. Around the age of 16 & 17, when they started getting into Music, they started their YouTube channel and uploaded their first video on January 25th, 2015. To this date, that first video has over 75k views.

What Makes Them Special

Julian & Jovani say, “what makes them different from other influencers is that they are twins who write, sing, and produce”. A special thing they are good at is making peoples’ days! They always love cheering up anyone who is having a bad day. Their saying is “it’s not a bad life, it’s just a bad day!”

What their Day to Day Looks Like

On a day-to-day basis, Julian and Jovani work professionally as Musicians.  Their long-term goal is touring and performing at festivals.

The brothers idolize Skrillex. He has been a huge inspiration for what they do. Their aha moment was when they watched a live stream of Skrillex performing at Ultra 2015.

Challenges in their Journey

The biggest challenge the Twins have faced is working hand in hand with Managers. They had a hard time working with an old manager and things went so bad that they had to start all over again from scratch.
