At age 9, he discovered his talent for singing. Vedo said that life was hard in Benton Harbor, a city in Berrien County – the state of Michigan.

Vedo started his musical career by performing covers at open mic nights.

In 2008, Vedo moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he attended a high school located in unincorporated DeKalb County called Southwest DeKalb High School.

In 2013, Vedo first rose to public attention on the strength of his performances on – ”The Voice.”

”The Voice” is a singing competition that features 5 stages of competition:

• live performance shows;
• knockouts;
• battle rounds;
• blind auditions;

The show has become a rival to ”The X Factor” and ”Rising Star.” The Voice is created on ”The Voice of Holland,” which was initially created by John de Mol, a Dutch television producer.

During an interview, he talked about his experience on the show:

“I just took everything that I had, that I accumulated as far as fans and knowledge and contacts, and I just used it to its full extent.”

He went on to say:

“I hit the ground running. I started writing more songs for a bunch of artists. I started reaching out to a bunch of people I had met.”

On ”The Voice,” American singer Usher was his coach. Vedo declared this:

“Usher’s my idol. He’s an icon, man. I study him. Every song he ever came out with, if I don’t know the lyrics, I’ve heard it before.”

Vedo later added:

”I felt like he could really give me that push, teach me things I need taught. Like how to survive in this industry. How to market yourself. How to create your brand like he has done so well over the years.”

In 2014, Vedo was named Male Artist of the Year at the Georgia Music Awards.

In 2015, he signed a recording contract with Platinum Power Moves. He then said: 

“Actually, this label wanted to sign me before the show. They really had eyes on me for the past three and a half years. Back then when they wanted to sign me I just felt it wasn’t the right time to sign with anybody to be honest with you.”

The talented R&B singer continued:

”As an artist, I wanted to still work on myself first. I wanted to define myself as an artist more before I locked myself in a deal.”

On October 27th, 2015, the singer hit the road with the Sheen Team to search for the next Sheen Beauty and inspire students.

In 2016, he released the State of Mind EP.

In 2017, his single “Slow” was released under his new independent label called ”New WAV Music Group.” He said about the single:

“Slow is special because it’s a record that’s getting back to respecting the woman, loving the woman but letting the woman know that I’m still the man.”

The singer later added:

”Slow is the type of record that people may sleep on it at first, but in time it’s going to sneak up on them and blow up.”
