Meet Chipelo, an emerging Latin artist from Montgomery County, Md. Chipelo is a Towson University alum aiming to bring something fresh to the Latin music scene with high-energy performances and a fusion style.
Combining his Salvadoran-American identity with his experiences in the DMV, Chipelo aims to infuse raw storytelling with new sounds.
“I want kids to look up to me and be like, ‘Oh, I want to be like him,’ and then allow them to have those opportunities to do theater, to do dance, to do music, and keep them off the streets as well, like how music saved me.”
