biography

musical journey and style

chovolo's hip-hop journey began in the humble setting of his childhood neighborhood, where making music on outdated PCs became a formative experience. What truly captivated him was the poetry within hip-hop. Influenced by hip-hop, salsa, alt-indie, and genre-defying music, Chovolo's unique style encompasses a blend of conscious messages and a commitment to uplifting humanity.

creative process

An artist who finds solace in solitude, chovolo's creative process involves deep introspection and meditation. Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's mastery of language and storytelling, his methodical approach results in the magic of genuine expression. His old actor warm-up, developed during his theater studies, provides the breath and vocal control that enrich his performances.

signature sound

chovolo's signature adlibs, "volo", "dale", and "wepa," infuse his music with a sense of flight and Miami-raised Puerto Rican joy. The distinct elements of love, consciousness, and a commitment to community upliftment set him apart in the hip-hop landscape.

impact and connection

Through his music, chovolo hopes listeners deepen their sense of self and find courage. Anecdotes, such as a young man finding clarity in his family dynamics through chovolo's song "Lovin'," showcase the profound connection fans make with his work.

future goals

Chovolo aspires to be a pioneer in the next generation of hip-hop, offering a fresh narrative and healing music. Beyond the mic, he aims to contribute to the rebuilding of Puerto Rico through his construction management expertise. His interest in stock market investing, arts education, holistic health, wellness, social justice, and radical love drives his multifaceted vision.

upcoming projects

Exciting collaborations with Miami artists RealLiveAnimals and Swimmer are in the works, along with a highly anticipated collaborative album with Grammy Award-winning producer Cheeze Beatz, set to release in April.

chovolo's journey extends beyond music, reflecting a commitment to social impact and a vision of holistic growth. As he strives to be the best MC to grace the mic, his legacy is poised to leave an indelible mark on the world of hip-hop.
