As the only RnB/Hip Hop duo in today’s popular music industry, Steelo blends pure R&B, slick rhymes and progressive beats, to create a unique and popular sound. The group is comprised of lyricist A.Uno, who brings thought provoking rhymes and a smooth delivery, captivating audiences in English, Spanish, and Farsi, and singer/songwriter Bobby K, whose melodies and harmonies come to life through an exquisite vocal range.

In the past year they have appeared at Northwest festivals and Universities and opened for Pitbull, Sean Kingston and Rich Boy. Steelo will close out the year traveling to Colombia in September 2008 for their first international show, as well as appearances in Los Angeles and Miami to support the video.
