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.

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.
