MICO

In an era where everyone seemingly wants to blow up overnight, MICO is proof that nothing beats great music and consistency. In late 2018, a 16 year-old Miguel Veloso would sing in Discord servers and Twitch streams to connect with new listeners one-by-one. Now at 21 years old, MICO’s hard work has paid off in the form of a cult fandom and over 60 million global streams… all without the aid of a record label.

For MICO, the internet isn’t something to be overthought—it’s like his second home, organically growing a following of over 750,000 dedicated “amicos” over the last 5 years. Coming off his radio hit “cut my hair” and sold-out debut show in late 2022, MICO released his much anticipated EP “the tears we fight” the following September. Followed up by a 3-track EP titled “the afterparty” in December, the sister projects were generating viral hits like “another soul” and “better”, with fans coming back for every release.

In 2023, MICO sought to break the stigma surrounding online artists by embarking on two tours spanning Canada & the US. Selling out a multitude of shows across both countries, MICO continues to prove the industry wrong, forcefully becoming one of the main up-and-coming alternative pop artists to breakthrough in recent years.

And 2024 is showing no signs of stopping for the alt-pop rising phenom, kicking off the year with his largest show to date at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, and gearing up for a new music era – slated for the Fall – with plans of touring globally this go-round.
