Does Myke Towers write his own songs?

Yes. Every track on his debut album Easy Money Baby carries Michael Torres in the writing credits adapted from BMI, and the ASCAP Latin Awards named him Songwriter of the Year (2022) in the same year that a run of his titles, among them Diosa, Bandido and Pareja del Año, took Winning Songs honors. He almost never writes alone. The Easy Money Baby credits put Torres beside the same handful of names on nearly every track, including Orlando Matos, José Reyes, Omar Rivera-Maldonado and Anthony Medina, and Lala credits Torres alongside six other writers. The habit comes from how he learned the craft: he drew on 1990s hip-hop from a very young age, practised freestyle independently, recorded demos, then posted the results to SoundCloud, where they caught on in Puerto Rico.

Discography 7 albums

El Final del Principio, the 2016 release that first put him on the Latin Rhythm Albums chart, is catalogued as a mixtape rather than a studio album, so it is not listed here.

The Authorship Story

Data Insight

One name sits on almost everything Myke Towers has released. Orlando Jovani Cepeda Matos is credited on 149 of the 153 tracks across seven albums, which makes this closer to a two-person writing partnership than a rotating room. J Batyxta is on 116, José M. Reyes Díaz on 54 and Fara on 47, so the inner circle is small and it barely changes. Exactly one track in seven albums, on the 2020 debut Easy Money Baby, carries Towers alone. Every album after that is co-written end to end with nothing left undocumented.

Quick Facts

Creative Fingerprint

He came up freestyling on his own off 1990s hip-hop and still stacks verses like a rapper filling bars, yet the songs that carry his name furthest, Lala, La Falda and Pareja del Año, are collaborative reggaeton with a long line of co-writers on the credit sheet.

The Story

Myke Towers is a Puerto Rican rapper and singer, born Michael Anthony Torres Monge in Río Piedras in 1994. He built an audience on SoundCloud freestyles under the name Young Kingz before his first studio album, Easy Money Baby, arrived in 2020 and went to number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. Seven studio albums followed in six years, split between the rap records he keeps returning to and the reggaeton that carries his biggest singles.

Frequently Asked Questions Myke Towers

Does Myke Towers write his own songs?
Yes. Every track on his debut album Easy Money Baby carries Michael Torres in the writing credits adapted from BMI, and the ASCAP Latin Awards named him Songwriter of the Year (2022) in the same year that a run of his titles, among them Diosa, Bandido and Pareja del Año, took Winning Songs honors. He almost never writes alone. The Easy Money Baby credits put Torres beside the same handful of names on nearly every track, including Orlando Matos, José Reyes, Omar Rivera-Maldonado and Anthony Medina, and Lala credits Torres alongside six other writers. The habit comes from how he learned the craft: he drew on 1990s hip-hop from a very young age, practised freestyle independently, recorded demos, then posted the results to SoundCloud, where they caught on in Puerto Rico.
Did he start out as a freestyle rapper?
He did. He took his cues from 1990s hip-hop as a child and started practising freestyle independently, recording various demos afterwards. His early songs went up on SoundCloud, and his first project was the mixtape El Final del Principio (2016), produced by the label G Starr Entertainment with singles Dinero en mano, Déjate ver, No sabe nada and Alternativas. The rap posture never left; it shows in how densely he fills a verse even on records built for the dance floor.
Why do so many names appear in the writing credits on his songs?
Reggaeton and Latin trap share authorship by default. A featured performer usually writes the part they sing, and the producers who build the track take a share of the song as well. Si Se Da on Easy Money Baby lists Farruko under his legal name Alberto Lozada-Algarín next to Torres, and Lala credits Torres alongside six other writers. Remixes stack more names on top: the Si Se Da remix brought in Arcángel, Sech and Zion, and the La Jeepeta remix put Towers with Nio García, Anuel AA, Juanka and Brray.
Who produces his records?
He works off a wide bench rather than one house producer. Easy Money Baby alone credits Smash David, JW Lucas, LosTheProducer, Nely, The Rudeboyz, DJ Syke45, Montana the Producer, Fly TwilightZone, OreooBeatzzz, YannC, Z3N, Tainy, Haze, Ily Wonder, Santana the Golden Boy, Misael de la Cruz and Kyle Stemberger. Lala was produced by Chalko and YannC El Armónico, the same YannC who built La Playa on the debut album.
Who are his regular collaborators?
Farruko, Ozuna, Jay Wheeler, Wisin, Anuel AA, Nio García, Arcángel, Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny recur across his singles. The reach goes past the Spanish-language urban circuit too: he appears on Bad Bunny's YHLQMDLG, Selena Gomez's Revelación, J Balvin's Jose, Enrique Iglesias' Final and Camilo's De Adentro Pa Afuera. Later records bring in Peso Pluma, Quevedo, Benny Blanco, Bad Gyal and Aitana.
Did he write Lala?
He is one of seven credited writers on Lala, listed with Anthony Edward Ralph Parrilla Medina, Carlos Alberto Butter Aguila, Jean Carlos Hernandez-Espinell, Julio Emmanuel Batista Santos, Orlando J. Cepeda Matos and Siggy Vazquez Rodriguez. Chalko and YannC El Armónico produced it. The song sat on La Vida Es Una as track 22 from March 2023 and only broke out that July, after TikTok picked it up, then became his first song to lead Billboard's Global 200 Excl. US chart.
What does the name Myke Towers mean?
He recorded early on as Mike, then restyled it to Myke so the Y and the K of his old moniker Young Kingz sat inside the name. His second album Lyke Mike (2021) plays on the same idea, and its 23 tracks nod to the jersey number of Michael Jordan. His legal name is Michael Anthony Torres Monge, and it is that name, not the stage one, that appears on the writing credits.
Has his songwriting been recognised with awards?
The ASCAP Latin Awards gave him Songwriter of the Year (2022) plus Winning Songs honors for Si Se Da (2020), La Jeepeta (Remix) (2021), Bandido, Diosa, La Curiosidad, La Nota, Mi Niña, Pareja del Año and Travesuras (Remix) (2022), then Lala and Uh Lala (2024). His albums have drawn nominations for Best Urban Music Album at the Latin Grammy Awards, for Easy Money Baby (2020) and Lyke Mike (2021), without a win so far.
Is he a rapper or a reggaeton artist?
Both, and the split runs right through the catalog. Lyke Mike (2021) takes its title and its 23 tracks from his rap identity and was nominated for Best Urban Music Album at the Latin Grammy Awards. La Vida Es Una (2023) spreads across genres over another 23 songs, with features from Arcángel, J Balvin, Chita, Ozuna and Daddy Yankee. La Pantera Negra (2024) mixes trap, reggaeton and dancehall across its singles.
Does he still write like a freestyle rapper?
The habit survives in the album cuts more than in the singles. Lyke Mike and Lyke Miike keep the rap posture in their titles and their track counts, while the songs that travel furthest, Lala, La Falda, Adivino with Bad Bunny and Pareja del Año with Sebastián Yatra, are collaborative reggaeton with writing rooms attached. He works both lanes in the same year rather than trading one for the other.
