Leading a new wave of Latin music for over a decade, Tainy, has been the producer of some of the biggest reggaeton hits. A repeated Grammy and BMI Award winner, Tainy has been producing for countless artists, including reggaeton pioneers like Daddy Yankee, Wisin & Yandel, Don Omar and others. Recently, he has contributed to global hits like "I Like It" by Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin and "No Es Justo" by Balvin featuring Zion & Lennox.

Tainy produced Oasis with Bad Bunny and Balvin, which dominated global charts and help Tainy position himself as the number one Latin producer on the Billboard charts for 27 consecutive weeks. Tainy also collaborated with Bad Bunny on the song "Callaíta" which had massive success. He released his global hit "Adicto" alongside Anuel AA and Ozuna which went on to receive multiple Platinum and Gold certification in eight countries and accumulated over 450 million streams and 550 million views on YouTube.

Life and career[]

Career beginnings[]

After meeting with Nely "El Arma Secreta", Tainy gave Luny Tunes his demo. Luny liked the demo and signed Tainy to his team.[2] When Tainy was 15, Nely loaned him FL Studio XXL for producing. Tainy practiced for a year until he learned. To test Tainy's potential, Luny had him work on a song. Luny ended up liking the song and used it for his album, Mas Flow 2.[3]

Tainy and Luny produced the Los Benjamins album,[4] producing 15 of the tracks. He has worked as a producer with Wisin & Yandel, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Wise and many more.[5][6]

NEON16[]

In 2019, Tainy and music executive Lex Borrero teamed up to launch a new company called NEON16. Described as a "multifaceted talent incubator", NEON16's label side has partnered with Interscope Records and currently have on their roster Puerto Rican artist Alvaro Diaz and Colombian artist Dylan Fuentes.

"To create NEON16 is a dream come true. I know Lex feels the same way. It gives our team a chance to continue to build and also shift the current state of our music." - Tainy

Borrero said, "Our motto is 'Fear nothing, impact everything'. We want to work with talents who are willing to take creative risks in order to make a lasting impact. Tainy is the definition of our motto, he has been pushing the sounds of Latin music since the beginning of his legendary career."
