Background

[edit]

Feid was born on 19 August 1992 in Medellín, Colombia.[2] He is the son of Berta Lucía Hoyos, a preschool teacher and psychologist, and Jorge Mario Villada, a university professor of Arts, Feid is of Mestizo and Syrian descent. His sister Manuela Villada Hoyos is studying graphic design.[as of?] Feid took music extension courses offered by the University of Antioquia in Medellín.[9][better source needed]

In his childhood he learned the clarinet, which he later abandoned after deciding to begin singing. He took singing classes and also sang in front of his friends. He was in the college choir. He finally focused on creating reggaeton music and sang at college parties, birthday parties, and reunions. He prefers hip-hop and R&B and listens to artists like Drake, T-Pain, and Chris Brown. However, he became a reggaeton artist because he felt the genre was more popular with younger generations.[10]

Feid worked with several well-known artists, like J Balvin and Sebastián Yatra. He also helped write the popular reggaeton song by J Balvin called "Ginza".[6] Feid released the song "Dorado" on 10 July 2020; he collaborated with Italian musicians Mahmood and Sfera Ebbasta on the song.[11]

In 2026, Feid collaborated with Madonna, on the track "Read My Lips", as part of the latter's fifteenth studio album Confessions II. On June 26, 2026, they released a "FIFA version" of the song, in recognition of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[12]
