Michaël Brun is a Haitian DJ and record producer based in New York City. Brun grew up steeped in traditional Haitian styes like rara and kompa, and as an artist, he’s made his mark infusing these influences into electronic dance music. He burst on the scene in 2011 with a series of singles and EPs, and major appearances at the likes of Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival. His 2019 album, Lokal, is a tour de force of 21st century Haitian musical life, a sonic kaleidoscope from trad to techno. Brun’s latest project is BAYO - an immersive celebration of Haitian creativity, culture, and community. The next BAYO edition will take place at Barclays Center on June 28, at a time Haitians have been repeatedly vilified by the current U.S. President, and risk losing their Temporary Protected Status as immigrants.
