What’s up, guys? It’s your friend, Óscar Maydon. And I am the Billboard Artist Latin… What’s up, guys? It’s your friend, Óscar Maydon. And I’m Billboard’s Latin… Billboard’s? Let’s see, just one more, one more, one more, one more. What’s up, guys? It’s your friend, Óscar Maydon. And I’m Billboard’s Latin Artist on the Rise. My first introduction to music was during the pandemic. I wanted to earn money because I was used to working and they closed everything down. I said, “Now, what do I do to survive?” I started with friends and colleagues. I would say, “I’ll sell you a corrido! Do you want a corrido? I’ll make you a corrido.” It was there that the love for the composition of a song was born. And I grabbed a guitar and started to make corridos for different people. Then, my first song came out, which was “De La Nació.” I sold it to a friend and that’s where my world begins in music, to really make music because I have always like music, but I never actually created it. I never had that intuition or knew that I could do it. I grew up with my grandparents and I remember we did vacation trips in June, July for our long vacations. I was listening to… I was born and raised with norteño, with all of regional Mexican like Joan Sebastian, Juan Gabriel, Los Muecas.
