History

The two members of Reyko, Soleil and Igor, are from Spain but are currently based in London.[1][2] Before forming the duo, Soleil worked as an osteopath, and Igor was a professional tennis player before deciding to pursue a music career.[3][4] They started writing music together as part of Igor's music production course.[5]

The duo's debut single, "Spinning Over You", was the official song for a major 2018 ad campaign by El Corte Ingles and became a radio hit in Spain, peaking at #13 nationally.[6][7][8] In 2018, Reyko were nominated for best new artist in LOS40 Music Awards.[9]

In April 2019, Reyko contributed a version of "El Cine" to a Warner Music tribute album consisting of covers to Mecano's album Descanso Dominical.[10]

In mid 2019, the duo decided to break ties with their then label Mushroom Pillow and self release their future music, after they found out the label was licensing their unreleased music without their knowledge. [11]

Between August 2019 and January 2020, the duo released a series of singles: "Lose Myself", followed by "Hierba Mala", "Don't Mention My Name", "Surrender" and "La Verdad".[12][13][14][15] In March 2020, the duo released their self-titled debut album, which includes their previously released singles.[2]

"Set You Free", which appears on their EP Midnight Sunshine, is the theme song for the Netflix series Toy Boy.[16]

gollark: I mean, if you *are* banned you might join the forums and check, but most banees won't.
gollark: Oh, yes, certainly, but *most people* will remain, so there is no ad revenue incentive.
gollark: And most will just use the trade hub carefree without looking at the forums.
gollark: If what TJ09 says is true, only half a percent of players were banned.
