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 1.6 million digitally (known as the “amicos”),
generating over 100 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 (“HOMESICK”, “TV” and “Senses”.
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.
And 2025 is all gas, no brakes for the rising phenom as he fresh off his first-ever EU/UK tour
(100% sold out), supported Nightly on a few US dates, coinciding with additional US headline
shows in May (100% sold out) in May and will perform on his first festival ever at Lollapolooza
in Berlin this July – all while releasing the deluxe version of his 2024 EP – “Internet hometown
hero (+DLC)” on May 2, featuring “I’d hate to be my friend” and “Don’t you cry (w/ vaultboy).
