From the top of Machu Picchu to behind the baby grand on the Tonight Show, our good friend and long-time LargeUp contributor Jillionaire aka Trini Chris was everywhere this year. As you may have heard, Major Lazer had their biggest summer yet, with countless festivals shelled down and an Internet-breaking worldwide hit, but that was just the start of Chris’ big year.

Here, he shares 15 peak moments with us.

I crushed a ton of music festivals across the world.

I produced some fun tracks with a bunch of my homies — look out for them next year!

I walked the red carpet at the Latin Grammys.

I played piano on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Le Grand Journal.

I climbed Machu Picchu and ended up in Billboard Magazine.

Machel Montano and I took carnival to Cancun, Mexico for the very first time.

I was immortalized in an episode of the Major Lazer cartoon!

Major Lazer’s “One Wine” brought the best of Jamaica, Sean Paul,  and the best of Trinidad, Machel Montano, together on one track.

I did a float (music truck) at Trinidad Carnival with Machel Montano and Anya Ayoung Chee, and we threw a sick afterparty on Carnival.

Forbes hollered at me for a list of fun places to visit.

Heineken House brought Bunji Garlin and Machel Montano to Coachella – Soca in the desert!

Pearl’s Caribbean was voted “Best Bake & Shark Of All Time Ever” by the American Fish Sandwich Association.

Feel Up Records put out a sick EP by Jus Now with crazy tracks including a heater from Bunji Garlin and Miss Dynamite.

Chicken & Beer, in partnership with LargeUp, went to a bunch of cities across the US and Canada for super fun times.

The “Lean On” video that we shot in India with MØ and Dj Snake broke the internet!
