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 produced 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 helped 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. Tainy produced the 2019 hit "China" by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, and Karol G featuring Ozuna and J Balvin that peaked at number one in 6 countries and reached the top 10 in nine others.
Tainy has produced songs like Lauren Jauregui's debut Latin single "Lento", "Feel It Too" featuring Jessie Reyez and Tory Lanez and Justin Bieber's "Habitual". He released his debut EP titled Neon16 Tape: The Kids That Grew Up on Reggaeton which consists of tracks with several other artists. The single "Nada" featuring Jauregui and C. Tangana was released on February 21, 2020.[2]
Marco Efraín Masís Fernández was born on August 9, 1989, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to a Costa Rican father and Dominican mother, María Fernández[3].[4] He has a younger brother, Michael Bryan, who is also a record producer, who goes by the stage name "Mvsis".[5] Masís affirmed in an interview that he used to hear Juan Luis Guerra in his childhood, and that over time he began taking interest in classic rock and rap,[6] with additional inspiration from R&B artists and producers like Timbaland and The Neptunes.[7]
After meeting with producer Nely el Arma Secreta, who he met at a local church,[8] Masís gave duo Luny Tunes a demo he made. Luny liked the demo and signed Masís to his team.[9] When Masís was 15, Nely loaned him FL Studio XXL for producing. Masís 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.[10]
Tainy and Luny produced the Los Benjamins album,[11] producing 15 of the tracks. He has worked as a producer with Wisin & Yandel, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Wise and many more.[12][13]
In 2019, Tainy and music executive Lex Borrero teamed up to launch a 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 Álvaro Díaz and Colombian artist Dylan Fuentes. Tainy stated:
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.
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."
