Featured records: “All I Am,” “I Was,” “Devil Talks,” “Miss The High,” and “Jack Frost.”
For Rello, this moment almost didn’t happen. Originally a college football player at Bowling Green State University with NFL dreams, his world shifted dramatically when personal struggles, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the grief of losing loved ones dismantled the future he had planned. In the depths of that uncertainty, music found him.
"I figured out I was pretty good at freestyling," Rello shares. With guidance from his cousin, Zay Finale, what started as a casual outlet began to take shape. Years later, after connecting with his now-manager Kevin, those freestyles have crystallized into a professional debut.
Don’t expect a polished, over-produced veneer on All I Am. Rello describes the EP as an "amateurish" snapshot—and he means that as its greatest strength. It captures the exact moment a man decided to turn his pain into art.
"It’s my introduction. It’s me confiding and revealing things I’ve kept to myself," Rello explains.
The EP navigates the shadows of his past with unflinching honesty. On “Miss The High” and “Devil Talks,” Rello wrestles with substance use and inner demons. The title track, “All I Am,” serves as a thesis statement on identity, while “I Was” reflects on the person he used to be before the weight of the world caught up with him. Closing out the project, “Jack Frost” adds another layer to the complex emotional palette of the debut.
While Rello views this project as the "earliest stage" of his journey—admitting he’s already evolved past the sound captured in these sessions—All I Am succeeds in its primary mission: introducing the world to a man fighting for his redemption.
“I’m getting better every studio session,” Rello states. “This is just the start.”
