Juan Fernando Velasco stands as a preeminent figure in Ecuadorian pop music, having significantly shaped the musical landscape of his native country over the past quarter-century. With the distinction of being nominated twice for the Latin Grammy Awards, securing an Emmy win, and amassing a plethora of gold and platinum records, Velasco has established himself both domestically and internationally as a foremost exponent of his craft.

Since embarking on his solo career in 1999 with the release of his inaugural album, Velasco has consistently ascended the charts with enduring hits like “Para que no me olvides,” “Déjame,” and “Chao Lola.” Moreover, his conceptual endeavors, exemplified by albums such as "Con todo el alma" and “Misquilla", which pay tribute to Ecuadorian "pasillos," along with his latest offering, “POPular,” a compendium of his greatest hits reinterpreted through regional musical lenses, have enjoyed unprecedented commercial success and critical acclaim.

Beyond his solo ventures, Velasco has collaborated with luminaries like Franco de Vita, Fonseca, and Andrés Cepeda. He recently unveiled “Mi amigo el dolor,” the lead single from his forthcoming pop opus, marking a poignant milestone as he celebrates 25 years as a soloist.
