Filipino-Canadian artist MICO has gone from singing in Discord servers at 16 to becoming one of alt-pop punk’s most exciting new voices. Now 22, he’s built a cult following of 1.6 million “amicos,” earned over 200 million global streams, and sold out tours across North America and Europe — all before signing to a major label. Shaped by late-2000s pop-punk influences, MICO blends nostalgic energy with modern alt-pop edge, pairing raw, confessional songwriting with an authenticity that resonates deeply with fans worldwide.
