CHICO is a 22-year-old musician and singer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. CHICO’s Mexican descendance opened his eyes to various Latin artists such as bolero legends, Los Panchos, and cumbia innovators, Los Angeles Azules. The combination of rhythm and melody from his Mexican roots is something that has influenced his music. Alongside his Mexican roots, the Mexican American artist started playing drums, bass, guitar, and piano after listening to the blues legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughn and B.B. King. Recently, CHICO has fallen in love with the rise of Indie rock/pop music in the US, as well as Mexico. By combining cumbia rhythms, blues rock musicianship, passionate bolero songwriting, with an indie flair, CHICO is able to create music that can be enjoyed by people of both backgrounds. CHICO is known for his covers on his YouTube channel, which is nearing 50,000 views, and his performance alongside Spanish rock band Maná in front of 20,000 people at a sold-out Greensboro coliseum.
