Spade Melo

Authentic, versatile and charismatic are just a few of the adjectives that can be used to define Spade Melo. Like the card game from which he adopted the former part of his rap moniker, he’s easy to learn but hard to master. Additionally, it is widely known that the trump card in Spades is always the winning card as is the life of Spade Melo, a straightforward and natural born leader who dominates at every turn.


In middle school, the budding lyricist, along with his friends, downloaded beats to freestyle to. Blessed with an innate gift of wordplay and a vivid imagination, the 7th grader quickly built a strong following at school and in the community. After his mom heard him flow, she fully supported and encouraged her son’s artistic ambitions and purchased all of the necessary equipment for him to record and produce at home. She was determined that her son should prosper. Spade Melo further honed his reputation on the mic by remaining consistent over the years even as he developed street affiliations as a rebellious teenager. Nevertheless he always returned to his love of music, his saving grace.


Spade Melo possesses a justified confidence in his talent. He earned the title of self-made being that he writes, raps, sings, produces and engineers. The one-man army effortlessly flows on one track and spits introspective bars on another, clearly positioning himself as a well-rounded artist who is in a category all his own. Let the games begin.
