Cliqua

Pasqual Gutiérrez and Raúl “RJ” Sanchez (CLIQUA) are a Mexican-American directing duo. Their hyperactive, eye-popping music videos have already won them a host of talented admirers, including Rosalía, Bad Bunny and J. Balvin.

Cliqua formed as a duo in 2018 after Pasqual and Raúl became a leading influence in the explosion of Hispanic and Latin culture in popular music, having played a pivotal role in shaping its imagery. In a single year, their videos amassed a combined total of 700 million views on YouTube.

In 2021, CLIQUA were designated to mastermind and reinvent the next phase of The Weeknd’s career, directing a series of megahit music videos including ‘Sacrifice’, ‘Take My Breath’ and ‘Save Your Tears’. Most recently they’ve helmed ‘K-Pop’ (feat Bad Bunny & The Weeknd) – the first video from Travis Scott’s 2023 album Utopia.

CLIQUA are currently based in Los Angeles
