Play N Skillz

Raised in Irving, TX, the Dallas-based Play N Skillz - brothers Juan "Play" Salinas and Oscar "Skillz" Salinas - began producing music in their mother's apartment before creating a stir in their area. A meet-up with Lil' Flip resulted in production work for the MC's U Gotta Feel Me album, which led to a deal with Universal. The two released The Process later in 2004, featuring vocal help from Flip, Adina Howard, Krayzie Bone, and Layzie Bone.

In 2011, Play-N-Skillz began a partnership with Jose Cuervo Platino Tequila and they are now considered to be the face for the brand. In addition, Play-N-Skillz recently co-wrote David Guetta's first single, "Where Them Girls At" featuring Flo-Rida and Nicki Minaj which charted in over 21 countries within days of release. In June, they released a critically acclaimed electronic inspired mixtape entitled "Fireworks" which was a major viral success. In November 2011, Play-N-Skillz signed a production deal with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope. Play-N-Skillz collaborate with Pitbull on their latest single 'Richest Man' off their upcoming album "Alter Egos" due for release in 2012.
