Welcome2TheBronx: “Why did you decide on doing Selfie?
Juan SkittleZ Ortiz: Aside from thinking that it’d be a hilariously fun video to do, I decided to do Selfie because after hearing the original song I felt there was definitely another demographic that could have been tapped into. It was a very similar situation to that of doing Shit Spanish Girls Say (which was influenced by the original “Shit Girls Say”). The original track (#Selfie – The Chainsmokers) is such a catchy-club banger kind of song that is so funny to listen to, but because of the electro-beat and the way the girl is speaking I knew there was room to make a different variation of the song that could reach an entirely different group of people. After presenting the idea to Julissa Contreras and Melanie Gonzalez (my best-friends and artistic partners in crime), they seemed to be just as inspired and motivated to make the project as successful as possible. Once I knew they were down, there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity. “
