The reason why Milan and Sasha, the children of Piqué and Shakira, have made their musical debut

Milan and Sasha Piqué Mebarak are only 12 and 10 years old respectively, but with the release of the song "The One" they have made the leap into music . At least, it seems that way. Shakira and Gerard Piqué's two sons star in the video for the song, which in a matter of hours far exceeded the metrics of any other video on the YouTube channel that published it. The singer from Barranquilla had already announced on occasion that her children had talent and were learning music, but the world has been very surprised by this debut .

However, this isn't the starting gun for a typical musical career. Although Milan and Sasha have become the stars of the post , which has amassed more than 386,000 views in 24 hours, there are other keys to understanding the reason for this song, what it means, and the purpose of its release.

The most important thing to realize is that Milan and Sasha haven't just formed a music group. It's a video released by the Let It Beat! academy, founded by Argentine musician Guillermo Vadalá , who has worked with artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Chayanne, and Laura Pausini , among others. He plays guitar and bass, but has also produced and released two albums as a solo artist. He is also one of the authors of the song "Let It Beat!" and the father of Mila Vadalá, the young woman who shares the spotlight with Shakira and Piqué's children.

That is, Milan and Sasha are taking classes at this academy, which holds auditions to accept students, and this song is an extracurricular project. They teach different instruments like guitar, drums, and bass, but they also teach vocal skills and provide guidance on music production. Every summer, they hold very popular workshops to learn the basics of music , songwriting, editing, and other details every artist should know.

There's something for all ages and they fill the mornings of kids between 7 and 18, making it perfect for keeping them entertained during work hours or while they're on vacation. Plus, they have live shows every Friday, making it like a real-life "Camp Rock." The Let It Beat! offices have 15 fully equipped studios, so the facilities offer children the opportunity to play with all kinds of musical elements.

This month, the Let It Beat! academy released the album "All for You," produced by Guillermo Vadalá himself and Nerina Nicotra , another of the company's founders, under the Sony Music Latin record label. The presentation took place just four days ago at a gala held in Miami, attended by the families of the young artists who are part of this academy. Specifically, this initiative is part of the Next Generation of Artists program , which focuses on children between 10 and 20 years old, so Sasha is one of the youngest in the group. However, he's already showing enough self-confidence to star in the music video for the first single.

The song " Sasha , Milan, and Mila" was written by several of the academy's professionals, including Guillermo Vadalá, Minerva Borjas Owen, and Nerina Nicotra, along with the young woman. " Mila is the heart of Let It Beat and The Next Generation of Artists," wrote the company's official account last February. "Her great talent and passion shine through in every note of our album. Listen and feel the music," they commented.

On their personal accounts, each of the academy's professionals thanked Shakira for trusting them with teaching her children music. Therefore, although "The One" isn't her typical musical debut , it is a sign of the youngsters' interest in the industry in which their mother excels. Although both have played soccer since they were little, it seems that, for the moment, they are more inclined toward music .
