MARC AMELLO formerly known as M3L, is a Multilingual Afro-Reggaeton and R&B Artist based in Toronto. Born in Cameroon yet raised in six countries (Cameroon, Senegal, Kenya, Canada, USA & Spain), his music embodies the lived experiences of a “Third Culture” kid, with roots in Anglophone Afrobeats and Hiphop/R&B, Reggaeton, and Francophone Zouk/Coupé-Décalé music. His ability to flow seamlessly between English, Spanish, and French makes for a unique listening experience and showcases elite versatility.
