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.

Written during a whirlwind year of constant travel, personal upheaval, and rapid growth, When the lights turn on captures the emotional chaos of growing up in real time, exploring identity, nostalgia, heartbreak, online perception versus reality, and the strange experience of outgrowing the places and people that once felt like home. Balancing hyperpop chaos, soaring pop hooks, and explosive alternative energy, the album showcases MICO’s most personal and ambitious songwriting to date, cementing him as one of alternative pop’s most exciting new voices.

Will Linley is here to make you feel—and maybe dance a little while you're at it.

Blending brutal honesty with catchy melodies, the South Africa-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has carved out a signature sound that captures the highs, lows, and chaos of Gen-Z life. Whether he’s mourning a breakup or chasing a fleeting spark, Will wraps raw emotion in shimmering pop hooks and delivers it all with unfiltered charm.

His breakout 2021 single “miss me (when you’re gone)” exploded with over 20M+ Spotify streams, hit #1 on South African radio, and went gold. That momentum carried into his 2022 debut EP ‘kill all my feelings’ and continued with 2023’s “Last Call,” generating another 20M+ streams. OnesToWatch called his choruses “car ride sing-along” gold, and The Line of Best Fit hailed him as a rising star crafting “heartbreak bangers and upbeat ballads.”

In late 2023, Will dropped the ‘Magic’ EP to critical acclaim, and has amassed over 50 million streams globally. Most recently, he unveiled “Cinematic,” the first glimpse of his hotly anticipated debut album, due Fall 2025.

He’s shared arena and stadium stages with Maroon 5 and OneRepublic, and now sells out his own headline shows around the world. This Fall, he’s set to return to the EU and UK for his Hopeless Romantic Tour—bringing his gut-punch lyrics and sky-high choruses to fans everywhere.
