“He also told me to stay true to myself and don’t let other people create your identity for you. Because at that point, you become a puppet,” the 30-year-old artist added. “I needed to hear those things, especially from someone like him, because I did have doubts. But I overcame those.”With such hits as the double platinum single “You Got It,” “4 Walls” and “Let’s Get Married,” Vedo has become one of the most notable voices in R&B today.
One way I get inspiration is that I go to a bar and just sit, get a couple of drinks and grab something to eat. I sit next to a stranger and strike up a conversation. You never know how open some people can be. A few of my songs are about the people I have met and their everyday struggles.There’s this talk about R&B being dead and not being the same anymore. And I kind of want to let people know that R&B is here.
Today, I feel like people are scared of appearing too soft, or of being transparent because they may come off as a simp. But I think R&B is about love and forgiveness, family and finding that special someone to spend forever with. That’s what R&B should do for you. It should make you feel all those things. Those are the things I bring in.Vocals are important, especially when you’re singing live or have a concert. But I have to be honest with you.
My first placement was for the K-pop group EXO. From there, the checks started rolling in and we were like, “Uh-oh… I guess we’ll keep doing this!” Fast forward, I was writing songs for Chris Brown, Usher and Ella Mai.It just so happened that my manager was a retired military person and knew people in the music industry over there . He said that he had an artist who writes songs; that maybe they could give me a shot to write songs for a K-pop band. I didn’t even know what K-pop meant then.
