# Saiko (singer)

Miguel Cantos Gómez (born 25 May 2002), known mononymously as Saiko, is a Spanish singer and rapper and songwriter in the reggaeton and trap genres.

## Early life

Miguel Cantos Gómez was born in the Granada suburb of Armilla, on 25 May 2002. From a very young age he became interested in music, participating in rap battles in his town. He began rapping at the age of fourteen, forming a duo with his brother in 2017.

## Musical career

In 2020, Saiko began his solo career. His first single was released under the name "Te quiero fuera". It was not until the release of "Polaris" in 2022 when the artist from Granada became famous, despite having previously collaborated with artists such as Lola Índigo and Alejo in "Humedad remix" or with Quevedo in "Jordan I" or in "Turbulencias", the latter together with other artists such as Juseph, Fabio Colloricchio or La Pantera, and with Kabasaki as producer. Polaris was a huge success, which was certified gold in Spain.
Once Saiko achieved the gold record, in April 2023 he released a new single entitled "Supernova", which quickly became very famous as its chorus was that of the song "Un violinista en tu tejado" by Melendi, reaching number 1 on the singles chart in Spain. He also achieved gold record "Las Bratz (Remix)", in a single in which he collaborated with JC Reyes, or Juseph, Aissa Aslani, El Bobe and Nickzzy. Once Saiko saw the success of "Polaris" he released "Polaris Remix" in which he collaborated with Quevedo, Mora and Feid, all artists already established in the genre.. As expected, the song becomes one of the songs of the summer of 2023. Such the success of "Polaris Remix", Saiko established himself in the industry, collaborating with Omar Montes in "Arena y Sal", with Mora and Sech in "Café Malibú", and again with Mora in "Reina", a single from the Puerto Rican's new album, which soon became number 1 in Spain, debuting in the Spotify top 50 directly as number 1 and number 15 globally.
On 14 September, Saiko gave a free concert with Quevedo in Madrid, and on 21 September, he gave a concert at the Granada Bullring, selling out all tickets in just five minutes. That same day he released the single "Buenas" with Quevedo, which quickly reached number 1 in Spain. On 14 December 2023, Saiko released his EP "Saliendo del planeta" with singles such as "Corleone" with Yandel and production by producer Sky, as well as the single "Siempre vas a volver" with Polimá Westcoast, Saiko would define the project as a preview of his next album "Sakura".
Through an Instagram post, Saiko announced on the tracklist of his first album, Sakura, on 17 April 2024. On the same day, he released the video clip for one of the new songs on the album: "Yo lo soñé" with Omar Montes and the participation of Ilia Topuria. Sakura was released on 26 April on all platforms. In total it includes 16 songs, including collaborations with artists such as J Balvin, Bryant Myers, JC Reyes, Dei V, Mora and Dellafuente, among others. Dellafuente's being the most important for him on a sentimental level due to everything that has followed the singer.
