  • 19-year-old Cuco makes music in his bedroom, but that hasn't stopped him from building a dedicated fanbase that sells out shows and knows every word to his songs. Cuco is playing most of the major festivals this year, but what really motivates him is providing representation for Mexican Americans in the music industry and helping his family. We spent two days in L.A. with Cuco and his friends as they prepared to play a community oriented show in between the two weekends of Coachella.

    That shits so true as a 1st generations kid you see the struggle your parents go through trying to support you so that you can succeed, seeing them work so hard to make ends meet & that makes you wanna get a job as soon as possible so that they can finally take a break

    He’s the ONLY PERSON, I’ve EVER met in my WHOLE LIFE who is down to earth. I met him in Tucson Arizona. He’s one of my favorite artists simply because of how I saw he was treating everyone around him, his crew, his fans, he’s literally someone who appreciates and deserves all this. All his shit is from the bottom of his heart. Much Love Cuco.

      @HeyitsmeGahbriehla 6 лет назад +9

      honey angel I get you! But at the end of the day it's all politics. Weather she had connections or not she makes good music. It's her MUSIC that stands out, not who her parents are.

    • @lilangel1773
      @lilangel1773 6 лет назад +85

      SadLlamaHappyLlama Thats honestly the most fake deep thing ive ever read. Her music wouldnt be heard if she did not have connections. With her connections, she was able to have interviews with bigger channels and companies and her music to be promoted on youtube as well. So yes, it matters who her parents are- stop ignoring that nepotism and financial privileges are the things that help artists like these grow, it makes it harder for actual poorer bedroom artists (like cuco) who are bedroom artists because they ACTUALLY are poorer to make it big. While financially able, well off artists are piggybacking off this bedroom, self made facade to seem more authentic
