Being a Third-Culture Kid isn't always easy. Marc lived in 6 countries but he experienced great fun with a positive attitude. We talked about his journey of making music and how he was inspired in choosing his styles.
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, 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.
