| January 31, 2025 — Los Angeles, CA — GRAMMY winning Haitian DJ and producer Michaël Brun returns with a star-studded cast of collaborators on new single “Touchdown.” The track features GRAMMY nominated global icon J Balvin, legendary Jamaican dancehall superstars Beenie Man and Bounty Killer as well as Jamaican singer/songwriter Tasan. On the track, the powerful dancehall vocals of Beenie Man and Bounty Killer are complemented by J Balvin’s smooth reggaeton flow and Tasan’s delicately sung tones, resulting in an expansive sound with potential to be a global smash. “Touchdown” made its debut on ESPN earlier this month, with J Balvin serving as the network’s Monday Night Football music curator.

The song is a monumental moment for Brun, who has always been inspired by dancehall and Jamaican culture and is truly honoured to bring legends of the scene Beenie Man and Bounty Killer together on the same track for the first time. Furthering his connection with the island and its musical history, Tasan is a frequent collaborator and the daughter of legendary Jamaican singer Papa San – an artist who profoundly influenced the dancehall genre. Being one of the biggest reggaeton stars in the world, J Balvin also has a deep reverence for dancehall music and his inclusion on the track speaks to the influence that the genre has had on music worldwide. With “Touchdown,” Brun once again showcases his natural ability to craft contemporary music that connects the Caribbean to the world, resulting in a truly global sound that can move a worldwide audience.The new song comes at the heels of a very exciting announcement from Brun who shared that his annual festival, BAYO, will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 28. What started out as a block party in 2016 has grown in popularity over the years and has seen Brun bring the festival to crowds in Miami, Atlanta, Paris, Montreal and more. The new home for BAYO cements its status as one of the biggest Caribbean music festivals in the world.
