Guaynaa grew up in Caguas, Puerto Rico, where he was raised on merengue rhythms and salsa beats. He discovered a talent for rhyming at school—but it wasn’t until 2017 that he used music to forge his frustration into sound. A searing viral freestyle about the chaos wrought by Hurricane Maria paved the way for his breakout success with reggaetón hit “Rebota”. Whether he’s crafting cumbia rhythms on “Monterrey” or hopping on "Demente" with K-pop star CHUNG HA, Guaynaa blends an irreverent persona with dreamy melodies to produce a winning mix of wit and well-crafted bops.
