Haitian-Infused EDM with Michael Brun | Brooklyn Made

EDM artist and DJ Michael Brun left his studies in medicine to become an artist showcasing and sharing his Haitian culture with the world. Having played at Coachella, Ultra Music Festival and featured as Billboard's Hot 100 Fest, the international artist brought Haiti to Williamsburg, a neighborhood that isn't commonly populated by Haitians. Here, Michael talks about the online community around electronic music and how he flips the script on what people think of Haitian music by taking combined influence from rara, kompa, hip hop, and jazz.
