Biography

Miguel is a Filipino-Canadian indie-pop punk musician and songwriter based in Toronto. He first rose to prominence in 2019 under the stage name MICO, debuting with the single Who Do You Love. In 2020, he released his breakout EP 21st Century Heartbreak. Inspired by his father’s music collection, Miguel gained early recognition singing in Discord voice chats.

While voicing Telemachus in EPIC: The Musical, Miguel has continued his solo career and built a devoted fanbase. He connects with over 500,000 TikTok followers via @micotoronto, where he showcases his music and personal updates. Despite his EPIC involvement, Miguel uses his real name for crediting, intentionally separating it from his MICO brand.
