Born in Medellín, Colombia, Feid's relationship with music began in his childhood, when he learned to play the clarinet. Later he abandoned the instrument and dedicated himself to his other passion: singing. He took singing classes and was a member of the children's choir in his father's play, La Universidad de Antioquia, before performing in front of friends at talent shows.
Fast forward to his 20s, when Feid decided to dedicate his career to reggaeton and began writing songs for some of the biggest Latin artists, including Alberto Stylee, Nicky Jam, Reykon and J Balvin. Soon, Feid became a sought-after songwriter and signed his first record deal with In-Tu Linea, a label under the umbrella of Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
Feid got his first entry in a Billboard chart with his collaboration with J Balvin, “Que Raro,” which peaked at No. 26 on Latin Digital Song Sales in October 2016. He released his debut album, Just as you dreamin 2017, with the song “Morena”. He continued with the one from 2019. 19which earned him his first Latin Grammy nomination, with the song “FKU”.
