25 FOR 2025 ARTISTS TO WATCH

Artist Bio

In a digital era where everyone wants overnight success, alt-pop rising artist MICO showcases that great music and consistency can win the race. Starting as a 16-year-old singing in Discord servers and Twitch streams, MICO (now 22) continues to connect with new listeners one-by-one, paying off in a cult fanbase of 1.5 million digitally (known as the “amicos”), generating over 75 million global streams and selling out North American and European tours – all independently without major label help. The last two years have catapulted MICO to new heights – earning a top 20 radio hit (“cut my hair”), selling out three headline tours throughout the US and Canada, and sparking viral hits that have become staples in his discography (“TV”, “cut my hair” and “Homesick”). For MICO, the Internet isn’t something to be overthought – it’s like his second home. In 2024, he released his highly anticipated fifth EP, “Internet hometown hero” accompanied by his Cancel your plans tour – selling out dates in the US and Toronto and breaking his own streaming records. 2025 has been all gas, no brakes for the rising phenom as he took flight on his first-ever sold out EU/UK tour, he will also be extending his ‘Internet hometown hero’ tour with additional sold out dates in the US and will do his first festival circuit at Lollapalooza Berlin – all while rolling out the deluxe version of his 2024 EP.
