When The ET Boys arrived, they didn’t knock. They floated in quietly and then stayed lodged in your head.
The Latino brother duo burst onto the Nu Pop landscape with a sound that felt instantly familiar yet impossible to categorize. Their breakout single “Sober” in the summer of 2021 became a calling card, not because it followed a formula, but because it ignored one entirely. It was melodic, atmospheric, emotional, and confident without trying too hard. Once you heard it, you didn’t need an explanation. You just knew.
Built on Discipline, Raised in Rhythm
Born in Chicago and raised in South Florida, the brothers grew up surrounded by rhythm long before they ever stepped into the spotlight. Music wasn’t an extracurricular activity in their household. It was an expectation. Piano, guitar, drums. Practice before play. Discipline before applause. By grade school, both brothers were already performing, building a musical fluency that would later become the backbone of their unmistakable chemistry.
A Sound That Refuses to Be Boxed
What makes The ET Boys compelling isn’t just that they are brothers. It’s that their bond is audible. Their collaboration feels instinctive, almost telepathic. The result is a sound often described as melodic rap, alternative pop, or electronic-infused hip hop, but none of those labels fully land. The ET Boys don’t fit neatly into genres. They operate in their own lane, one now widely recognized as Nu Pop with an edge that feels futuristic and emotional at the same time.
Tacboy: The Pulse in the Spotlight
At the forefront is Tacboy, the visible pulse of the duo. Over the past year, his creative output has been relentless. From acting to music to fashion, he has quietly built a résumé that reads like someone twice his age. He stepped into a supporting role in the upcoming film Buried Onions, expanded into house music with Pepper Gomez on “Oh My Heart,” which climbed toward a quarter-million streams, and continued delivering vocals and lyrics across the ET Boys catalog. Tracks like “Long Night,” “Something Love,” “Rain or Sunshine,” “Poison Lipstick,” and “TIOD” showcased range and emotional depth, each one adding a new layer to the world they’re building.
Moving Between Worlds
Tacboy’s presence extends beyond the studio. As an IMG model currently based in New York City, he moves fluidly between creative spaces, learning the business side of music through Wake Up! Music and Wake Up! Music Rocks while continuing to create. The momentum around him feels less like hype and more like inevitability.
Sharkeyes: The Architect Behind the Mask
Behind the masks, behind the melodies, and behind every beat is Sharkeyes.
If Tacboy is the voice, Sharkeyes is the architect.
Where Musical Mastery Takes Shape
Responsible for all of The ET Boys’ music, Sharkeyes brings a rare level of musical literacy to the project. Classically trained on piano and keyboards, self-taught on wind instruments, formally trained on drums, and deeply immersed in percussion from around the world, his relationship with sound is expansive and intentional. By fourteen, he was already performing in his drum teacher’s band. By college, he was composing full tracks and sending them to Tacboy, unknowingly laying the foundation for what The ET Boys would become.
Sound as Environment
His production is textured and deliberate, blending electronic elements with organic instrumentation. A proud owner of a vintage PanArt hang drum and multiple ethnic percussion instruments, Sharkeyes builds sonic environments rather than just beats. His first official release came in 2018 with “Sometimes,” a trance-infused collaboration on veteran house DJ Matt Warren’s album Music Is My Life. That early release hinted at his versatility long before the ET Boys emerged as a full force.
Forever Night: A World You Enter
Together, the brothers have created something that feels both intimate and expansive. Their debut album Forever Night, released November 4, 2022, doesn’t just compile songs. It captures a mood. A late-night world where emotion, melody, and movement coexist. It’s music designed for headphones and highways, clubs and solitude, moments when time stretches and memories feel closer than they should.
Built With Intention, Not Haste
What sets The ET Boys apart is not speed, but intention. They don’t chase trends. They build atmospheres. Their visuals are cinematic. Their sound is cohesive. Their evolution feels organic rather than manufactured.
And they’re just getting started.
Once You’ve Heard It
As they move forward, already deep into work on their next album, The ET Boys continue to refine a sound that doesn’t ask for permission. They create, release, and let the music speak.
Once you’ve heard it, you know it.
And once you know it, it stays with you.
