Early Life

Salomón Villada Hoyos was born on 19 August 1992 in Medellín, Colombia. His mother, Berta Lucía Hoyos, worked as a preschool teacher and psychologist, while his father, Jorge Mario Villada, was a university Arts professor. Before stepping into the spotlight himself, Feid built his reputation behind the scenes as a songwriter, penning tracks for J Balvin (including the smash "Ginza"), Nicky Jam, Sebastián Yatra and Maluma. Like fellow Medellín star Karol G — see the Karol G biography — he came up through Colombia's vibrant urban music scene.

Feid has notched 7 Billboard Hot 100 entries and 25 Billboard Global 200 entries, and ranked among Spotify's Top 10 most-streamed artists globally two years running.
