Sad news for CNCOwners!
CNCO, the four-piece Latin group – Christopher Velez, Erick Brian Colon, Richard Camacho and Zabdiel De Jesus – took to the stage at 2022 Premios Juventud on Thursday (July 21) to share the news.
Before their announcement, Erick told Billboard, “We are feeling nervous but at the same time, we feel excited, anxious,” and that the split was amicable.

“We always thought that if we split, it had to be natural, and that’s how it happened,” Zabdiel added. “We’ve lived many things together, and grew together in this industry, and we’re ready to try new things to expand our careers. We’re very excited.”
“It hurts us because it’s a big step in our lives that’s going to lead us to our solo careers but exciting at the same time because we’re willing to experiment and try to find our own sound and individuality,” Christopher says. “Just because we’re splitting doesn’t mean we’re going to stop seeing each other, we’re simply trying out new, challenging things. I know we will see each other in the way, of composing or working together. We have faith that the outcome will be great.”
CNCO will still remain as a band for another year and a half, and they will be releasing more new music, including an album, going on tour, and of course, their Disney+ series, 4Ever!
“CNCO opened the doors for us in the industry and now we have more opportunities to keep writing and meet other people, get into the studio and create new vibes,” Richard says. “In the end, we have a lot of love and want to make sure everyone feels part of this family because everyone contributed and without you, we’re no one. This is not negative at all, it’s very positive. At the end of the day, we want to grow and enjoy life. Maybe in the future, we’ll come back. Who knows?”
This news comes over a year after original band member Joel Pimental exited the group.
“They know that we love them from the beginning. Without them, this wouldn’t be possible. I know they’re going to follow our solo careers and support us,” Christopher said of their fans, the CNCOwners. “The love is always going to be mutual. We’re going to become better artists to deliver the best music. They know we love them.”
