Maycol Rosero, known as “El Prisionero del Despecho” (The Prisoner of Heartbreak), was born in Tulcán, Ecuador. With his mix of popular music, heartbreak, and corridos, he has made a name for himself throughout the Ecuador-Colombia border region. His rise to fame exploded in 2022 with the hit No Sufriré por Nadie, which went viral on TikTok and Facebook, racking up tens of millions of streams and leading Maycol to sell out shows for months.
His repertoire includes hits such as Pobre Con Gustos Caros, Cien Mil Canciones, and Borracho Bebiendo (with the Colombian group Los Hermanos Medina), showcasing his versatility in fusing corrido-popular with urban and tropical styles. Maycol went from working as a bicycle technician and warehouse worker to filling venues in Ecuador, southern Colombia, and popular squares, thanks to his heartfelt voice and closeness to the audience.
