'My sound is like a surprise in a bag,' the Hyde Park native said. She graces the BAMS Fest stage on Sunday, June 30.
For many people, public transportation is a sweaty, overcrowded, financially practical mode of travel to get from point A to point B. But for R&B singer-songwriter, it’s a world of inspiration. A few hours spent riding the T with no destination could spark many new song ideas, from observing a young couple arguing to a mother holding her two children close.
Clad in a Derrick White T-shirt the day after the Celtics’ win, she explained that while she started pursuing music at 15 years old, her first career path was teaching. Bello’s discography includes three studio albums, spanning 2018-2020. “My sound is like a surprise in a bag because I feel like people assume by the way I speak and sing there's always going to be this sexy, sultry, soulful stuff, but there's a lot of grit to what I do,” she said. “So my sound I want to say is like a funk, R&B mesh mixed with a little bit of pop — I can't deny that side of it.
“It's like a preconceived notion that maybe I sing rock music, maybe I have felony charges in my past, maybe I'm not a nice person,” she said. “It’s the irony of what my life is really like. I'm this woman that has a master's degree, years in teaching, all these accolades, but I'm also a woman that is a free-spirited, fully tattooed, running-amok rock star.
