Pablo KushDabelli (a/k/a KushDaBelli) was born on May 30th in the boogie-down Bronx, New York, where hip-hop was originally birthed. Although raised most of his life in Orlando, Florida, KushDaBelli has traveled and lived all over the East Coast. . . and the diversity of his upbringing definitely reflects in his music.

While in high school, KushDaBelli had dreams of playing pro football, but although the ball didn’t end up in his field, he discovered something even greater! Something that allows him to express who he is with no rules and no #filter--the love of a pencil!

A plethora of life lessons (homelessness, a near death experience, depression, home invasions, brawls, and arrests, etc.) pours out effortlessly like fire onto paper, transposing the dark cold coals of life into glistening gems of wisdom.

His rhythmic lyrical compositions speak from the heart, to real hearts. As he tells his story, he inspires others to never quit and stay grinding--you’re bound to shine!
