élo. Born on October 29th 1979 in Croix des Bouquets in the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, The capital of Haiti. Bélo, a young musician and songwriter is influenced by different musical genres from Reggae, Voodoo, Rara and soul that flirts with a flavor of Jazz. Ever since his youth, Bélo has been in Love with music and rapidly developed his talents. Bélo started his career at the age of 11 while in school, interpreting songs from his idols, Buju Banton, Bob Marley, just to name a few. Growing up, Bélo always knew that music would be the center part of his life. In order to produce his first album Lakou Trankil, Bélo collaborated with Fabrice Rouzier and Kéké Bélizaire, the great minds behind the well known Haiti Twoubadou Project. For his second album, Belo came to Miami, and worked with a great team of jazz musicians, including Richard Bona and Ed Calle. The album, Reference, mixes jazz stylings with an afro-beat sound. Belo's roots and reggae influenes are clear in his vocal stylings and socially conscious lyrics. Reference is an album with a blend of the different influences and sounds that Bélo grew-up with and we hope that you will enjoy it. Thank-You!
