Kapo
Juan David Loaiza Sepúlveda, widely recognized as Kapo, is a Colombian artist making waves in the music industry with his innate talent and versatility. Born in Medellín and raised in El Cabuyal (Valle del Cauca), Kapo's breakthrough came when he was discovered by La Industria Inc., the label behind top artists like Nicky Jam and Manuel Turizo. It all began when Juan Diego Medina, CEO of the label, came across one of Kapo's songs and immediately reached out through social media to work on developing his musical career. Since then, Kapo has become a rising star in the urban music scene.
From a young age, Kapo's passion for music was clear. For him, spending hours in the studio is not work but a true pleasure and calling. His creativity and authenticity have established him as one of the most promising talents in urban music today.
At just 26 years old, Kapo has showcased impressive vocal and creative versatility. Tracks like “Bulevar” (over 15 million views on YouTube), “Mochilera” (2 million views), and “Pelinegra” (more than 4 million streams) highlight his ability to connect with a diverse audience and transcend borders through his music. Other standout tracks, including “Droga Favorita,” “Algarete,” and “Un Viaje,” demonstrate his talent for exploring various sounds and styles within the urban genre.
Kapo’s unique style and talent have caught the attention of top artists in the genre like Reykon, Nanpa Básico, Crissin, and Noriel, who have not only acknowledged his potential but also collaborated with him, further accelerating his rise in the music industry.
One of his breakout hits, “Ohnana,” a track carrying a message of hope and resilience—"Trust, everything will be alright"—propelled Kapo to new heights. The song has amassed over 115 million views on YouTube and gained such prominence that it caught the eye of Maluma, who invited Kapo to perform alongside him in front of more than 50,000 fans in Valencia. Superstar Karol G also extended an invitation for Kapo to open one of the biggest concerts of her career in Spain, where thousands sang along to “Ohnana.” Today, the track boasts double platinum status.
In August 2024, Kapo released “Uwaie,” a song translating to "I'm in love with you." This single is a tribute to women in all their roles—mothers, sisters, daughters, partners—and emphasizes the love and significance they bring to his life and society. The song quickly went viral on social media and its official YouTube video now has over 77 million views, earning a Gold Record nomination in Spain.
The end of September marked the release of the “Ohnana Remix,” featuring a lineup of musical heavyweights including Maluma, Ryan Castro, Farruko, and Nicky Jam. The remix is currently available across all streaming platforms.
Building on his momentum, the artist has surprised fans with a lineup of bold collaborations, including “Qué Pecao” with Manuel Turizo, the heartfelt “A veces besos” alongside fellow Colombian Greeicy, and the catchy hit “Imagínate” with Danny Ocean, now surpassing a million views on YouTube. His fresh approach and growing impact were recognized at the Los 40 Music Awards in Barcelona, Spain, where he earned the award for Latin Breakthrough Artist of the Year—a testament to Kapo’s skyrocketing career trajectory.
Kapo is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new voices in Latin urban music. He recently took home the Lo Nuestro Award for Best New Artist, a milestone that reflects his growing impact on the industry. His collaboration with Myke Towers, “ILY,” has racked up over 11 million views in just a month, while his breakout single “ALOH ALOH” has already surpassed 18 million views since its release.
With the support of La Industria Inc. and a career on the rise, Kapo continues to prove that there are no limits to his creativity and talent. He is positioning himself as one of the most influential artists of his generation, leaving an indelible mark on the world of Latin music.
