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.[3] 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.[4]

Tainy and Luny produced the Los Benjamins album,[5] producing 15 of the tracks. He has worked as a producer with Wisin & Yandel, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Wise and many more.[6][7]

NEON16

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."
