Salomón Villada Hoyos (born 19 August 1992), better known by his stage names Feid and Ferxxo, is a Colombian singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Medellín, Colombia, he has worked with several well-known singers including Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Sebastián Yatra, Manuel Turizo, Maluma, and Karol G.

Feid was born on 19 August 1992 in Medellín, Colombia. He is the son of Berta Lucía Hoyos, a preschool teacher and psychologist. His father, Jorge Mario Villada, is a university professor in arts. His sister Manuela Villada Hoyos is studying graphic design. Feid took music extension courses offered by the University of Antioquia in Medellín.

In his childhood he learned the clarinet, which he later abandoned after deciding to begin singing. He took singing classes and also sang in front of his friends. He was in the college choir. He finally focused on creating reggaeton music and sang at college parties, birthday parties, and reunions. He prefers hip-hop and R&B and listens to artists like Drake, T-Pain, and Chris Brown. However, he became a reggaeton artist because he felt the genre was more popular with younger generations.

Feid worked with several well-known artists, like J Balvin and Sebastián Yatra. He also helped write the popular reggaeton song by J Balvin called "Ginza". Feid released the song "Dorado" on 10 July 2020; he collaborated with Italian musicians Mahmood and Sfera Ebbasta on the song.
