Martinez posted several affectionate posts on Instagram with 537,000 followers expressing love, and so did Demi. Although the Brit is no stranger to flaunting her figure on her Instagram, she called Chris “My King” in an April 2018 post.

They have ended as friends and continue to support each other throughout their careers,” adding, “Demi is single and very happy working on her career in the USA,” which confirmed Chris had a breakup with Demi after almost two years in a relationship.

The Martinez Brothers
Chris Martinez and his elder brother Steve Martinez jr. have been dominating the European EDM since they released their first number My Rendition under the guidance of Dennis Ferrer in 2007.
Steve Martinez sr., Father of the Duo, was a big name in the 80’s disco clubs and a patron of the legendary Paradise Garage in King Street, New York. As a result of which they got introduced to Garage/House Dance Music at a very young age.
Despite their father not being able to continue music after the birth of Steve Martinez jr., the boys’ father laid all the foundation required for a successful career in dance music for both of his children. Getting them involved in a church band where they would collaborate with older musicians, buying them first set of disco equipment, encouraging them into pursuing a career in dance music and also always remaining a supportive father ever since.

The Duo had exposure to New York’s dance music scene while they were growing up. They got the privilege because of their father’s PR in New York. The Martinez Brothers were continuously working on their music production, absorbing the roots of ’80s style garage music.
The true disco genre, however, was limited, after hearing a set, DJ Dennis Ferrer started mentoring the brothers. He signed the magnificent Duo to his label Objektivity and later on helped them grow through his contacts, booking them gigs at several notable venues in New York.
In 2011, The Martinez Bros got invited to Ibiza, Spain, the mecca for DJ’s in the entire world. Though it did not go as planned to perform in club Ushuaia with former mentor Dennis Ferrer. Still, fortunately, a friend and booker, Elliot Shaw, secured them residency in club DC-10, where they hold regular residencies ever since.
Another highlight includes one of 2013′s big underground Ibiza hits, Santos Resiak‘s A Better Light (The Martinez Brothers Remix) on One Records. Their ubiquitously accessible remix of Green Velvet‘s Bigger Than Prince (Circus) was named the most-played dance track at ADE 2013, further showing their range as producers and delivering a dark, raw groove with cut-up vocal accents.
In late 2013 they released the two-part hip-hop mixtape Warhol/Basquiat, which was named SPIN Magazine’s Dance Track of the Week by Philip Sherburne. He backed it up by saying:
At their best, their beats have a quizzical, psychedelic feel, stretching loops of Donna Summer and George Duke into long strips of taffy and turning up the humidity until they dissolve on their own.
2013 was marked as the beginning of their homespun event series Mad Beats & Crazy Styles, offering the brothers a space to explore their New York dance music roots. They also launched their record label, Cuttin’ Headz, which will be home to their musical experiments.
The Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler‘s, Tuskegee premiered the same year. Combining the black and Latino musical experience in the US in the early 90s as inspiration, TMB and Troxler set to put up a series of vinyl-only releases as well as a clothing line.
