Life and career
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]

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.
