More Than Music: Myke Towers’ Philanthropic Mission

While Myke Towers is a household name for his chart-topping hits and electrifying performances, the Puerto Rican artist is now making headlines for a different, yet equally powerful, reason. This September, Myke Towers will be honored with the prestigious “Agent of Change” award at Premios Juventud 2025. This significant recognition celebrates his profound social commitment and the transformative work he has spearheaded through his Young Kingz Foundation. It’s a testament to an artist whose impact resonates far beyond the music charts.

Building a Legacy Through Community

Launched in July 2024, the Young Kingz Foundation rapidly expanded its reach from its roots in Puerto Rico to vulnerable communities across the Americas and Europe. The foundation’s innovative approach uses sports, music, and education as powerful tools for real transformation. A prime example of this vision is their strategic partnership with World Cup champion David Villa. Together, Towers and Villa aim to nurture talent, discipline, and art, developing plans that include sports clinics, scholarships, mentorship programs, and academic support. They’ve also joined forces with the Municipality of San Juan, undertaking the renovation of seven boxing gyms and supporting the Quintana Academy with a pilot program blending soccer training with nutrition and personal development. The Quintana Champions League for Public Housing Communities, a youth soccer tournament, further highlights their dedication to community upliftment.

A Mission to Inspire

For Myke Towers, this isn’t merely a casual act of philanthropy; it’s a deeply personal mission. He articulates his motivation clearly, stating, “I’m not doing this expecting it to go viral like a song. I do it because I want to leave a legacy. Create a habit. Inspire others to help, in their own way.” What began as quiet support for his local communities in Quintana and Caimito has blossomed into a structured, international effort with tangible results, exemplified by success stories like Mateo Bermúdez, a young Puerto Rican soccer player now training in Galicia on a full scholarship thanks to the foundation.

As Myke Towers takes the stage at Premios Juventud in Panama City on September 25th for a special performance from his new album, Island Boyz, this award serves as a powerful reminder of his multifaceted legacy. Amid a landmark year filled with nominations, sold-out tours, and features on major soundtracks, this recognition solidifies his commitment to building community through art and impactful action. Premios Juventud isn’t just celebrating the artist, but the man behind the microphone – a leader building a solid, empowered community ready to forge its own path.
