Madyon grew up on a steady diet of norteño music and “all-things regional,” with Joan Sebastian, Juan Gabriel, and Mexicali band Los Muecas being a constant influence. “I learned to play when I was about 15 years old, coming out of high school. From there I started playing guitar. My whole family are musicians,” he reveals. “In my grandfather’s world, everybody sings, and some play instruments. And I have cousins who are musicianswho taught me a few things.
With hit collaborations alongside música mexicana giants like Natanael Cano in “Madonna,” Peso Pluma in “Santal 33,” Junior H in “Fin de Semana” and Gabito Ballesteros with Chino Pacas in “Elvira,” Óscar Maydon, who is signed to Rancho Humilde, is not just a part of the regional Mexican music scene — he is actively shaping its future.
