MICO

23-year-old Filipino-Canadian artist MICO creates emotionally charged alt pop rock that blends the hook-heavy nostalgia of 2000s/2010s pop punk with modern hyperpop and alternative influences. Born and raised in Toronto, MICO (real name Miguel Veloso) first built a devoted audience online through Discord performances, TikTok, and self-released music before evolving into a rapidly rising global act. Following a series of breakout releases and sold-out headline tours across North America and Europe, MICO now steps into his boldest era yet with his debut album When the lights turn on via Columbia Records.
