Kaleo Black (kah-lay-o) - is currently in Los Angeles working on new material with a few different producers including grammy winning blues man, Keb' Mo'.

The new single "It's 420 Somewhere" is slowly becoming Kaleo's first track to break through on radio. Although K tends to write and produce songs for "people not pop", some new material seems to be more fun than his previous roots-rock-folk style. "I feel like I've written some strong music that I knew people would like, now I'm writing stuff that I like." That "stuff" includes solid dance beats with a unique singing style that showcases Kaleo's vocal


diversity to the point that it occasionally slips into rap. "It sounds like Coolio, meets Kool and the Gang," says producer Rick Bailey.
