“For twelve years, others have tried to tell our story. Tried to put into words how two ten-year-old twins came to be called the biggest pop phenomenon in the Nordics. Now it’s our turn.”
Sold-out concerts, prestigious awards and screaming fans were everyday life for Marcus and Martinus for many years, but just as they were set to embark on their first world tour, everything they had built collapsed. As the pandemic spread, the twin brothers found themselves isolated in their hometown, forced to face their first major crisis. And while the situation offered them the chance to live a normal life, one question gnawed at them: Would their audience welcome them back — as adult artists?
In ”Two Hearts, One Beat”, Marcus and Martinus, share for the first time the darker side of growing up in the spotlight, the crash that threatened to destroy everything they had worked for — and how hard it can be to find your own voice when you’ve always been one of two.
