Who is Vele ?

I used to make music writing and freestyling since I was younger. I got into music when I had my first heartbreak. The 1st women i loved treated my love like it was nothing. it was only 4 months of love, and it shattered me.  This was when " Runaway " by Kanye West came out. I decided I want to express myself, too. That same night, I started to write to the runaway instrumental. This was not normal for me since my friends I grew up with used to write and freestyle music all the time. They would be like you should try to rap. I would always shy away. I enjoyed painting and drawing for a long time.  I still remember the raps they made. We could have been a greater team, but the universe is fair and deserving. We didn't deserve it. We were doing a lot of street activities. I hope to start a music label someday and help youth see their vision and give them the opportunity that my friends and I needed. I drifted away from music after writing over 1,000 songs. I didn't see any output of what I was putting in. Truth is, I wasn't investing the right way and didn't research enough. I went from recording on a tiny MP3 player, my phone, to professional equipment. In 2019 (pig year),  I bought a laptop and a USB mic. I thought that was all I needed, and I found BandLab. My friend Tony, whom I met through my friend Whosorico, told me that BandLab's quality was not good. I wasn't hearing it. I thought that if I made the music, I was accomplished. Thank you, Danxy, my friend, manager whom I met through Tony in 2024 (dragon year). Danxy has helped me see my vision the way I see it, but has helped add the details that I was missing. Even if the details were small or big, in 2025 we locked in, and now I have all the quality I need and then some. The information and relationship we have built is a stronghold for my sound.  I love to write my feelings and thoughts, and hope to help others in many ways with my melodies and words. I have been inspired by Ye, Lil Wayne, Drake, and Carti. However, I got my writing skills from studying rappers with great wordplay like Rick Ross and J Cole. I love there song structure. The way they place syllables marveled me. I have built a catalog of unreleased songs that i plan on releasing in due time in 2026. This is the year i shine. Thanks for everyone who has supported me and belived in me. You are a star player in this game for me. <3
