Maisak & Feid

Venezuelan urbano artist Maikel Rafael Rico Torres decided to follow in his dad's footprints while in his early teens; even though he went on to fully immerse himself in the urban sounds of contemporary Latin music, his style retained a lingering vallenato influence.
Determined to break into the industry, he moved to Medellín (one of the epicenters of Latin pop) and in 2020 won a contest sponsored by renowned producers the Rudeboyz and a Colombian radio station. Soon he found himself writing lyrics for other artists, as well as releasing his first solo singles under the moniker Maisak. His budding career kicked into gear in 2023 when, after a professional meeting with Maluma, the Colombian superstar offered him a contract with his label, Royalty Records. His output increased significantly, from a couple of singles each in 2021 and 2022 to five in 2023, and nine in the first nine months of 2024, including his first bona fide hit, "Se Me Olvida," featuring Feid.

Colombian reggaetón and cumbia singer/songwriter, rapper, and producer Feid, whose vocal delivery is a smooth, slippery, instantly recognizable tenor, has composed for and recorded with some of reggaetón's biggest stars. His debut solo effort, 2015's Así Como Suena, charted at home. In 2017, his sophomore album Así Como Suena, offered Feid's songs both solo (the hit singles "Lluvia" and "Ahora") and in collaborations. 2019 saw the release of the full-length 19. The digital albums Bahía Ducati and Ferxxo (Vol. 1: M.O.R.) appeared in 2020, with Inter Shibuya: La Mafia arriving in 2021. A string of singles, including the hit "Si Te La Encuentras por Ahí," appeared in 2022, as did the full-length Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos el Album. In 2023, Feid released the Top Ten-charting album MOR, No Le Temas a La Oscuridad in September. In December, he followed with the Ferxxocalipsis EP, that made its chart debut inside the Top 10.
