VEDO ‘SPLIT’
R&B singer VEDO—born Wilbart McCoy III—first found widespread recognition for his velvety smooth vocals on season four of the U.S. version of The Voice. Once you hear a song like the dreamy “4 Walls”—a sexy duet with Natasha Mosley from 2015’s 93—it’s clear why VEDO would end up competing on the show as part of Usher’s team. The two singers share the romantic vibe that defines the best setting-the-mood music: an intimate and natural feel that illustrates the power of vulnerability. VEDO spent his early life in Michigan, where he started singing as a kid, and then his mum sent him to Atlanta, where he worked on his songwriting skills during school. His appearance on The Voice led to a signing with Platinum Power Moves, and 93, a debut full-length that leans on the poppy sounds of ‘90s R&B and hip-hop, delivered a more fully realised artistic statement from VEDO to the world. With 2017’s From Now On and 2019’s self-titled album, VEDO pushed his soulful sound toward a post-millennium aesthetic, with pristine, sparkling production driving his sensual tunes.
