Bryant Myers

Bryan Robert Rohena Pérez, better known by his stage name Bryant Myers, is a prominent Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter, who has made a significant impact on the Latin trap and reggaeton music scenes. Born on April 5, 1998, in Loma Alta, a neighborhood in Carolina, Puerto Rico, Myers grew up in a challenging environment. He has often spoken about the hardships he faced during his upbringing, including financial struggles and living in a hazardous neighborhood. These early experiences fueled his desire to achieve success and provide a better life for his family. With a strong passion for music, he began writing songs at a young age, often composing them at home while still in school. However, he eventually left his studies to pursue his musical dreams full-time.

In 2013, Myers started experimenting with music production and releasing his songs on social media platforms like SoundCloud, Instagram, and YouTube. It wasn’t long before he caught the attention of local listeners with his distinctive voice and gritty lyrics. His first major breakthrough came with the release of his single “Esclava,” which garnered significant attention in the Puerto Rican urban music scene. The song, which was later remixed to feature his cousin Anonimus, Anuel AA, and Almighty, became a viral hit, amassing millions of views on YouTube within just a few months. By 2024, the original version of “Esclava” had accumulated over 428 million views on YouTube, cementing Myers’ status as a rising star in Latin trap.

The success of “Esclava” opened doors for Myers to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the reggaeton and Latin trap genres. His collaboration with Colombian superstar Maluma on the controversial track “Cuatro Babys” in 2016 further propelled him into the international spotlight. The song, which also featured Noriel and Juhn, became a commercial hit, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and earning a 4× Platinum certification from the RIAA. However, the song faced significant backlash for its lyrics, which were criticized for promoting violence against women. Despite the controversy, “Cuatro Babys” remained a fan favorite and contributed to the growing popularity of Latin trap music, which, at the time, had largely existed in the underground scene.

Throughout his career, Bryant Myers has continued to release successful singles and collaborate with notable artists. His debut studio album, La Oscuridad, released in 2018, showcased his versatility as an artist and further solidified his place in the Latin music industry. He followed it up with his second album, Bendecido, in 2020, and a collaborative project with Colombian singer Kevin Roldán, KR & Bryant MA, in 2023.

Despite his musical success, Myers has faced legal issues and controversies. In 2016, he was arrested for possession of a firearm and ammunition during a traffic stop in Puerto Rico. Additionally, the backlash surrounding “Cuatro Babys” has remained a topic of discussion in his career. However, Myers has managed to continue thriving, using his platform to explore new sounds and collaborate with influential artists in Latin music. With his unique voice and relentless work ethic, Bryant Myers has become one of the leading figures in Latin trap and reggaeton, representing Puerto Rican talent on a global stage.
