Victòria Riba Muns (Catalan: [bikˈtɔɾi.ə ˈriβə ˈmuns]; born 10 March 1995), known professionally as Vicco (Catalan: [ˈbiku], Spanish: [ˈbiko]), is a Spanish singer, songwriter, and record producer. She participated in the Benidorm Fest 2023 with the song " Nochentera", placing third in the final. Subsequently, the single has been certified octuple platinum and reached fifth position on the Spanish music chart.
Riba grew up in a musical environment, with her mother being a former singer and her father an amateurish bass guitar player, both encouraging her to explore the discipline. She learned how to play the piano and compose at 9 years old. At the age of 11, she began singing, and by age 15, she started to do both at the same time. [1]
Vicco began her musical career at the age of 19. [2] Before becoming a solo artist, she and her sisters formed the music group Carpanta, which sang in celebrations and shared the lyrics on social media networks. [3] She has participated twice in La Marató de TV3 with the song "Qué boig el món" with Carlos Gómez, the singer of Lexu's, in 2014, [4] and with "Llum de la vida" with Mariona Castillo and the Cor Jove de l' Orfeó Català, in 2019. [5]
On 26 October 2022, it was announced that Vicco would participate in Benidorm Fest 2023, which was held to select Spain's candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. [6] She received quite a bit of support in the semi-final and qualified for the final as the second highest-scoring entry of the night. [7] In addition, her proposal Nochentera was the most listened to song on Spotify of all the songs of the edition; at the time, it already had streamed more than one and a half million times, [8] as well as being the most searched on Shazam and the most used on TikTok. [9] Therefore, the Tiana City Council organized the viewing of the final live at Sala Albéniz, in the same municipality. [7] In the end, however, Vicco came third place, with 129 points in the final, behind Blanca Paloma and Agoney. [10] In the months following the contest, the song peaked at number five at the Spanish Singles Chart and obtained a octuple platinum certification by Promusicae. [11]
On 24 April 2024, through her social media networks, Vicco announced the title of her first studio album, entitled Noctalgia. The album went on sale on 10 May. [12] [13]
Vicco is the second cousin of singer Edu Esteve. [14] She has been dating Valencian multidisciplinary artist Sazza since at least 2022 and they live together in Madrid. [15] she has been captured in the middle of a possible romance with Ana Legazpi, a member of the musical group Marlena and ex-girlfriend of the influencer Dulceida.
