Although he doesn’t like trends, the Colombian reggaeton artist Feido doesn’t mind being called a “trendy singer”, he keeps his feet firmly on the ground and says in an interview with EFE that he doesn’t think about fame: “I still don’t want to imagine the scope I have.”

“It’s very ‘chimba’ (good) if I’m a modern singer, though fashion they are very gonorrheal, they are rare, but maybe it is true that I am in a time when my music is discovered and exposed by many”, says the author of “Normal”.

2022 marked a before and after in life Solomon Villada Hoyos. The release of the album “Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo”, the start of the tour “Ferxxo Nitro Jam” and coexistence with uncontrollable fans, showed him echoes of success in the front rows.

But the prestige he has now achieved with issues like “Normal” or “Hey Mor”, adding more than 551 million views on Spotify, he hasn’t changed his desire to make music or pressured him when it comes to making it.

“I don’t feel comfortable thinking that my music will reach more people different thingsI’ve always done songs that I really love, that I enjoy singing and that I’m proud of, nothing has changed – he says.

More and more “mature” and more confident in his artistic identity, The a singer now the American stages await him with the continuation of the North American tour.

“What I like most to be on stage is to look for people who are dressed like me, to see how they put on glasses, green colors, it’s very cool to see that. How they live in the moment and feel what the songs say “, express.
