Breaking through with his 2022 single “cut my hair”—a track that resonated across Canada’s radio waves—MICO built his initial audience through digital platforms like Discord and Twitch, before securing a deal with Columbia Records in 2025. His creative output spans a series of singles and EPs, including “DREAMBOY,” “Do it all again,” and the evocative “TRIO EP.”

Continuing to forge his own path in the world of indie pop, MICO’s forthcoming releases such as “Everything’s the same” and the album “When the lights turn on” highlight a restless inventiveness, attracting listeners with their blend of heartfelt lyricism and pop punk energy. Tracks like “Ever After,” “Don’t you cry,” and “bad note” showcase his nuanced approach to songwriting, making him a compelling artist to watch within the Canadian music scene and beyond.
