Concert | Grammy Winner Bridges Gaps Between Haitian Generations
Michael Brun spent his childhood on the sun-drenched Caribbean island of Haiti. Born to a Haitian father and Guyanese mother who loved music, Brun's influences stretched from the percussion-heavy Rara and Afro-groove music of his native Haiti, the dancehall and reggaeton soundsystem parties of Port-au-Prince, through to Hip-hop and RnB. He played guitar and piano from a young age, and took up DJing and music production as a hobby at 16 after winning a full scholarship to attend military school in the US, then going on to study Pre-Med at Davidson College. Today Michael, the Grammy winning producer and artist, has become the face of a new generation of Haitians, bridging the gap between his homeland and the resurgent global music movement. His passion and commitment to changing the narrative of Haiti, and elevating its people through culture and music have seen him tour the world, collab with superstars like J Balvin, Win Butler and Mr. Eazi, sell out multiple headlining US tours and notch up tens of millions of streams across singles and acclaimed projects like his debut album, Lokal and last year's Melanin EP.
