Nelson Alvin III, better known as Nelo, is a Christian Hip-Hop artist, born in Crowley, Louisiana, but based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A passionate music fan since his childhood, Nelo met fellow artist Parris Chariz while they were studying and playing basketball together in college: the friendship that was born then developed into an artistic bond, as well, once both of them began pursuing a music career between 2015 and 2016. Nelo eventually joined Parris' collective World 45 in 2020, which gave him the right platform to release his debut album, Riptide.

When asked to define his style, Nelo said the following:

My music is something I feel brings a different frequency to CHH. The same message just packaged in my own way. As far as my motivation, it’s simply to use my music to relate to, uplift, enlighten, and encourage others. That’s really all it is for me. Music has been a major part of my life since I was a kid. It’s always been imprinted on my heart, and I would hope that my music will leave a print on other people’s hearts. Hopefully, through my transparency and openness about my life’s highs, lows, and experiences, I can relay the message that, through it all, God is faithful.
