Early life

Bryant Myers was born and grew up in a neighborhood called Loma Alta from Carolina, Puerto Rico, in what he describes as a hazardous environment (the alleys and streets). "Sometimes we did not have breakfast or lunch, my mom could not buy me some sneakers, that made me want to make a lot of money to have my family well, and that my mother and my brother did not miss anything", relates Bryant on an interview with Infobae. Bryant started writing songs in his home while he studied. He later left his studies in order to pursue his music career.

Career

Bryant Myers' first hit "Esclava" put him on the radar with some well known reggaeton and urban artists, which allowed him to participate in a series of collaborations with charting artists. He followed it with "Esclava" (remix), featuring Anonimus (his cousin Luis Beauchamp), Anuel AA and Almighty. The latter track garnered over a million views on YouTube in less than three months. "Esclava" currently has 103 million views (as of June 6, 2018). Follow-up singles "Tu Me Enamoraste" and its remix with Lary Over and Brytiago, as well as "De Camino a Marte", performed just as well. He has continued to issue digital and video singles at a rate of at least one a month. In June 2016, he released "Vente Encima", featuring Anonimus, Noriel and Riko "El Bendecido", and guested on DJ Nelson's "Volverte a Ver" and Noriel's "La Llamada" (remix).
