Life and career

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.
