ABOUT CNCO
CHRISTOPHER
Christopher Velez is 22-years-old and was born in Ecuador. At the age of 18
he moved to New Jersey in search of a better life for him and his family. He
was working hard to help out his household, until he decided to follow his
dreams and audition for La Banda. Being far away from his family got him
motivated to stand out week after week as one of the show favorites. He
eventually was chosen to become a member of CNCO.
“I want to be able to help my family and provide them with everything they
need, but most importantly, I want to be able to do what I love the most,
music. CNCO has helped me evolve as a human being and as an artist and
developed my skills as a songwriter. I am thankful for this opportunity!”

ERICK BRIAN
Erick Brian Colón moved from Cuba to the U.S. with his mother and sister in
2012. The 17 year-old, enjoys playing soccer and his favorite team is Real
Madrid. Erick stole the hearts of the voters and the judges in La Banda, who
saw in him a very unique talent. His main motivation has always been his
family, many of whom still live in Cuba.
“I never imagined that this would be my life, CNCO has taught me that
dreams can come true. My family keeps me motivated to work hard, I want to
make them proud. I aim for my music to be listened all over the world.”
JOEL
The biggest inspiration for this 19-year-old Californian of Mexican ancestry
has been his late grandfather, who gave him the strength to continue singing
and to study theater. In his free time he likes to play soccer, write songs and
he also enjoys acting. Even though at one point he thought he was going home
during the contest, his tenacity, hard work, and talent ultimately made him one
of the members of CNCO.
“Being part of CNCO, has helped me grow, not only as an artist, but also as a
human being. Now I am able to help out my family, which is my biggest
motivation. My grandfather, was who inspired me to become a musician; he
showed me the love for music. My band mates and I are working hard to make
CNCO a worldwide phenomenon.”
