What:
Love,Music,People,Family

When:
The idea had been rolling in DR Melo’s mind for a while in 2004, but started emerging in late October. Then He came across M.R.S. and DAMONSTRATION and as they discovered each other’s passion and love for music they decided to start a group. Yet, not officially in a group because all collaborating artist work with other partners; they decided to still continue this very family oriented foundation in the music business. DR Melo, the CEO of the Entertainment Company, shares the founding name of Deeper Than Poetry with M.R.S. We are always working on new music so we can build a strong family of artists. We want to make this business experience family like yet professional, and that helps people not only see and reach their goals only as a musician, but also as a person impacting lives where ever they step foot.

Where:
This label was started in Pueblo, CO, yet now resides in Denver, CO. DR Melo: Raised in EPT and stationed in North Carolina then Italy, DR Melo traveled to Germany (his favorite), London, England, and Pamplona, Spain. He loves to travel and is eagerly awaiting his big break to visit his long admired destinations: Japan, Brazil, and Jamaica. He enjoys chatting with people, loves to learn new languages, and loves learning about different cultures. He is very multicultural and continues to open his mind to other life styles; especially music. After finishing his active duty status, he decided to relocate to Colorado to help his grandmother. Now he resides in Denver, CO; at this time he is working towards touring and traveling in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Sometime in the future he is looking forward to purchasing a ranch some where in Colorado or Texas.

Why:
DR Melo loves music because it has always been there for him through the hard, lonely, tough times. As a young child he wanted to sing, but because of the family circumstances could not attend competitions, or even put time into singing. Family issues also affected his personal life and belief in ever making music, yet the desire to entertain, inspire, and help people; still dwelled inside his heart. As the issues grew, he was determined to change his life style and moved away through the military. Learning new ideas, seeing new places, and meeting new people helped him grasp new ideals from a different perspective; then on, acquiring courage, leadership skills, and respect for life. These new conditions began to transform him into the man that he is; yet constantly evolving into a new man daily. He is a very family oriented gentleman with old school morals, manners, business like demeanor; and at the appropriate times jester like. Like he always says; “Mom brainwashed me,LOL!” People, are one of his top priorities in life and at times become more important than he. He is a loving, dedicated man waiting for the PERFECT aka; the right women for him to settle down and raise a family with someday. For now, his attention is completely set on his music, impacting people in a positive manner, and his career.
