The 31-year-old talent seeker was born in New York City. Even as a child, Braun seemed destined for success. As a middle school student, his ten-minute short film, focusing on Holocaust-era Hungarian Jewry, won third place in a national video documentary contest. After a family member sent his film to Steven Spielberg, who was so blown away by it he submitted the video to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where it is still shown today.
His launch into the music world, specifically hip hop, began with his establishment of a party-promotion business. His business drew in so much success that in 2002, Braun was hired to plan the after parties of the Anger Management Tour, which featured artists Ludacris and Eminem.
He left college his junior year to join the marketing team for So So Def Records. On September 3, 2012 Braun announced that he has entered into a business relationship with Psy, the K-pop star whose video 'Gangnam Style' has received over 131 million views on YouTube.

His appearance on the stage next to Kevin Hart was a surprise -- but an exciting one at that. His fun and easy-to-learn dance is always a crowd pleaser and continues to grow in popularity. When asked about his experience at the VMAs Psy responded, "I cannot believe what's going on. The increase in people knowing who I am is incredible. I did not expect things like this. I just made a video in Korea and uploaded it and within 50 days, I'm here now." Psy says we can expect many more pop songs from him in the near future- in Korean as well as some English.

His new track and dance video features an easy-to-learn dance to a trendy electropop beat. Many writers are calling Gangnam Style the breakthrough track for K-Pop in the United States. Psy has shown an interest in increasing the track's popularity in America with several appearances on TV discussing the music video and showing off his dance moves.Some believe in order to truly breakthrough to the States, a follow up hit and a successful tour are necessary, but others think the 60 million views speak for itself. Either way, this is definitely a great time for Psy and a great time for K-Pop!
