Jose Mejias, better known as Chelo, is an American singer, rapper and choreographer based in Miami Beach, Florida, signed with Sony BMG[1] as a solo artist.
[4] Chelo grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the only child of an accountant and a secretary.
His father put him in as a guest conga player in his salsa band, and young Chelo also would sing at family events.
[1] Chelo was asked by reggaeton star Daddy Yankee to assist him as a choreographer while still in high school, which led to his joining the groups Jyve V and Mexican ATM,[3] which both had songs in the Billboard Latin Top 40.
