Tainy
Marco Efraín Masís Fernández (Latin American Spanish: [ˈmaɾko efraˈim maˈsis feɾˈnandes]; born August 9, 1989), known professionally as Tainy, is a Puerto Rican record producer, songwriter and record engineer. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he entered the world of reggaeton with his work on Mas Flow 2 by Luny Tunes. A repeated Grammy and BMI Award winner, Tainy has produced for artists including Wisin & Yandel, Janet Jackson, and Jennifer Lopez. His debut EP, Neon16 Tape: The Kids That Grew Up on Reggaeton (2020), consists of tracks with several other artists.
Marco Efraín Masís Fernández was born on August 9, 1989, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to a Puerto Rican father and Dominican mother, María Fernández. He has a younger brother, Michael Bryan, who is also a record producer, who goes by the stage name "Mvsis". 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, with additional inspiration from R&B artists and producers like Timbaland and the Neptunes.
After meeting with producer Nely el Arma Secreta, who he met at a local church, Masís gave duo Luny Tunes a demo he made. Luny liked the demo and signed Masís to his team. 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.
Tainy and Luny produced the Los Benjamins album, producing 15 of the tracks. He has worked as a producer with Wisin & Yandel, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Wise and many more.
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 Lauren Jauregui and C. Tangana was released on February 21, 2020.
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."
