Securing his first major placement at age 15 with the Luny Tunes, Tainy has over 15 years of production experience under his belt already, crafting tracks for legends like Wisin & Yandel, Daddy Yankee, H\u00e9ctor “El Father,” and Ivy Queen, while also pioneering new sounds with superstars like Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Cardi B, and Anuel AA.
