We’re very excited.” They’re all looking to “experiment and try to find our own sound and individuality,” Velez said. “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.” READ MORE: Joel Pimentel Leaving CNCO For ‘New Opportunities’ Looking back on their time together, Camacho said, “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.” He added, “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.
