Myke Towers Wins “Agent of Change” Award at Premios Juventud

The 2025 Premios Juventud ceremony, historic for being held in Panama City, Panama for the first time, delivered a night of both dazzling music and meaningful recognition. On September 25, 2025, Puerto Rican superstar Myke Towers lit up the stage with an unforgettable medley of hits, including “Soleao” and “Degenere,” but his biggest moment came off the charts. Towers was honored with the prestigious 2025 Agente de Cambio (Agent of Change) award, a distinction celebrating his profound social commitment and humanitarian impact across borders. This recognition, broadcast live on networks like Univision, showcased an artist whose influence extends far beyond his massive success in Latin music.

This honorary award specifically highlights the vital work driven through the Young Kingz Foundation, which Towers established in 2024. The foundation is dedicated to supporting vulnerable youth in Puerto Rico, Latin America, and Europe through tangible, community-focused action. Early efforts have included the renovation of boxing gyms in San Juan and the launch of the Quintana Soccer Club, a successful pilot program that blends intense sports training with crucial nutrition and values education. For Towers, whose career is peaking with his Island Boyz album, true success is clearly measured not just by streams but by the lives he helps transform.

Global Expansion Through Key Partnerships

The Young Kingz Foundation has rapidly expanded its reach, demonstrating a commitment that extends far beyond the artist’s home island. In a significant move, the organization partnered with world champion David Villa to bring development programs to communities in New York, Colombia, and Spain. These efforts involve a comprehensive approach, including sports clinics, scholarships, and valuable mentorship programs. This year of impact comes as Towers simultaneously solidifies his place at the peak of Latin music, marked by five Premios Juventud nominations and his participation in F1 The Album.

Broadcast live during Hispanic Heritage Month, the ceremony celebrated the power of Latin culture and its ability to effect positive change. Myke Towers’ recognition as an Agente de Cambio makes it abundantly clear that his voice resonates just as strongly in communities as it does on the charts. By dedicating his influence to empowering the next generation, Towers has proven that his truest legacy lies not just in his music, but in his commitment to transforming lives around the world.
