We were lucky to catch up with Rello Be recently and have shared our conversation below.

Rello, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

My most meaningful project was my very first one, called Make It Make Sense.
It was filled with broken thoughts, mixed emotions, pieces of my past, moments from my present, and visions of where I aspire to be.

That project wasn’t just art to me. It was healing. It was reflection. It was me trying to understand my own journey and give meaning to the things I had been through.

Being an artist is truly an honor, and the ability to express myself is a gift I never take for granted. Through my art, I found a voice when words alone weren’t enough. I found strength in my vulnerability and purpose in my creativity.

Make It Make Sense will always hold a special place in my heart because it represents the moment I chose to turn my experiences into something meaningful.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

For those who don’t know Rello Be, just know you’re getting originality, authenticity, and real life.

I was born into music. My father, the late Charles E. Brown Sr., was known as one of the best singers in the city of Flint. Watching him showed me what passion looks like and what it means to give your gift to the world.

Then I watched my brothers, known as The Blood, Charles P. Brown Jr. aka Man Dingo, Devon Brown aka Big Fud, Kevin Brown aka Muff Magic , and Joseph Brown aka Joe Bezzy dominate the Flint music scene. They since changed their lives but their hunger, confidence, and dedication taught me that greatness isn’t given, it’s earned. Music runs deep in my family. I have brothers and sisters who sing, write poetry, and create hip hop. Creativity is in our blood.

What sets me apart is that I refuse to follow trends or ride someone else’s wave. I believe in being myself, telling my story, and standing on my truth. I rap about my life, my struggles, my lessons, and my victories. Because real music comes from real experiences.

I am an independent artist signed to Brown Boi Productions, LLC, and I’m determined to show the world something different. I started off a little rough, but that’s the beauty of growth. Every setback is a setup for a stronger comeback. Every lesson is building me into the artist I’m meant to be.

This journey is about development, discipline, and believing in yourself even when the road isn’t easy. I want people to see that you don’t have to be perfect to start, you just have to be committed to grow.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

There was a time when I was heavily into comedy, playing a character known as Purple Diamond, aka Uncle PD. Unc was ruthless, flashy, and entertaining, but behind the laughs, I used that character to tell stories about good and bad. I played Unc and also myself, showing how I think and trying to give people lessons on what to do and what not to do.

Comedy gave me a voice, and Uncle PD gave me a platform. But as I began to grow and see where God was leading me in life, I realized there comes a time when you have to let go of certain things to step into something greater.

I had to let Uncle PD go because of where I’m headed. My mission now is bigger than entertainment. I aim to inspire in new ways, to uplift people, and to help build up my city. Even though it was comedy, I never wanted to mislead people in the slightest. I wanted my message to always carry purpose.

Now I’m running a campaign for Flint 7th Ward City Council, and the journey has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve met people, heard their stories, and felt the heartbeat of the community. It has shown me that growth sometimes means evolving, leaving behind what’s comfortable, and stepping into what’s necessary.

This season of my life is about purpose, service, and real change.
Not just talking about change, but becoming the change.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding thing about being an artist isn’t the spotlight or the recognition, it’s the people who truly connect to the music. It’s knowing that someone hears your song and feels understood. That they don’t feel alone in their struggles, their emotions, or their situation.

There’s something powerful about knowing your words can reach someone on a day when they feel low, confused, or lost. I love being able to inspire someone, to lift their spirit, or help pull them out of a bad mood, even if it’s just for a moment.

As an artist, my greatest joy is when people don’t just hear the music, they feel it. When a song becomes comfort, motivation, or healing for someone who needs it most.

That’s what makes it all worth it.
Not just making music, but making a difference through music.
