'I don't want to be the only successful person from Haiti. I want other artists to continue to rise up and tell their own stories.' –MichaelBrun
The album is a nine-track project featuring collaborations from a slew of artists, from Major Lazer and Arcade Fire's Win Butler to Haitian vocalist J. Perry. All of them are perfect for a summer day of partying, sure to get you on your feet and grooving.
Originally a classically trained musician, Michael has played the piano since he was six and eventually picked up the guitar and violin. He started producing and DJing when he was 15. But back then, he didn't see himself growing up to be a musician. In fact, he was on track to become a doctor. After attending military school, he had a full scholarship at Davidson College in North Carolina before dropping out with the support of his advisor, parents, and even the school's dean.
On top of bringing contemporary Haitian music to the genre, Michael also notes what it's like being a musician from a mixed background who doesn't fit the typical archetype of those in the world of EDM, which is predominantly white and male. He remembers that even growing up in Haiti he'd be called Jackie Chan because he was one of the few Asian-looking people in his community. But now it's an advantage, being able to build these bridges.
