For the ones who rise slowly, love deeply, and carry unspoken truths in their chest.

For the creatives who almost gave up.
For the parents still trying to find time for themselves.
For the weirdos, the wanderers, the spiritually curious.
For the ones who finally said, “Screw it, I’m doing this.”

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… 
Is give yourself permission to begin. 

MELIZO is my multifaceted musical project born from who I am as a father, partner, working professional, and late-night sound alchemist. I have spent a lifetime gathering the ingredients for this moment. More than just a name, MELIZO is my sonic identity, carved out of lived experience, creative restlessness, and the spiritual awakening that comes when silence becomes unbearable and the truth demands a melody.

I was raised on rhythm, curiosity, and an unshakable passion for expression. My relationship with music started early. Whether I was playing instruments in school bands or harmonizing with the world in quiet moments, the seeds of creativity were always there, patiently waiting. But as life moved forward, music had to take a backseat to survival, responsibility, and chasing other forms of success. Even so, the ember never died.

Through my work with Elizondo Media, I built an unexpected toolkit: design, branding, photography, and sound production. At the time, I didn’t realize it, but every campaign, every composition, every logo, and every beat I tweaked in the background was part of a bigger picture forming. That picture eventually revealed itself as MELIZO.

In the Spring of 2025, everything shifted. Whether it was divine timing, cosmic alignment, or sheer necessity, the call to create music again became urgent. With a full schedule and limited time, I carved out sacred hours, late-night recording sessions, early morning edits, meditative production blocks that doubled as therapy. I rebuilt my home studio and reconnected with the part of myself that had been whispering for years: it’s time.This time, I had tools I never had before with enhanced features in SoundCloud, FL Studio, GarageBand, BandLab, Zondo by Elizondo Media, DistroKid, and more.

MELIZO became a genre-bending fusion of chillwave, electro-soul, affirmation pop, and cosmic poetry. Each song I create feels like a personal spell, crafted with emotional honesty, layered vocals, and beats that pulse with both heartache and metaphysical resilience.

Tracks like Fire Inside and Blue Magic are more than just songs. They are declarations of healing, of letting go, of choosing love in the aftermath of abandonment and chaos. My themes stretch from spiritual reawakening to generational healing, divine identity, and the quiet strength of speaking truth.

Many of my first releases were fragments that had lived in my head for years as melodies born from pain, reflections, and lyrics too stubborn to stay silent. Finally releasing them was more than a creative milestone, it was a spiritual release. For me, creation is liberation.

The most powerful moment didn’t come in the studio. It came at home, when I heard my kiddos singing along to my songs. This confirmed what I always knew: MELIZO isn’t just about making music. It’s about love and legacy, energy, and being brave enough to turn the past into poetry, lacing it with magical beats, and learning to let go.

For me, MELIZO is a vessel for storytelling, healing, and empowerment. It’s music that feels like a conversation with the higher self… raw, relatable, and resonant. 

I’m doing this for you, and I’m doing this for me. 

Love on!
