Blessd is a Medellin-born urbano singer-rapper who blends reggaeton swing with street pop hooks.
Medellin grit, pop gloss
He rose fast off
Medallo and the project
Hecho en Medellin, then kept momentum with lean storytelling over glossy beats.
Crowd energy with heart
Expect a clipped, high-energy set built around
Medallo and
Quien TV, with plenty of call-and-response before the drops. Crowd in San Jose usually skews bilingual and mixed-age, with Colombian flags, soccer kits, and folks who know the verses, not just hooks. Trivia: his stage name is styled without the final "e," and he has a habit of dropping quick freestyles between songs when the DJ loops a beat. He also leans on Medellin collaborators, so a surprise cameo from a tourmate or local opener is never off the table. Note that song picks and production ideas here are informed guesses, not a published plan.
Culture check: from flags to chants
What people wear, what they shout
The scene leans warm and welcoming, with people who came to dance and sing, not to stand still.
Little rituals, local color
You will see Colombia and Medellin flags as capes, soccer jerseys, crop tops, cargos, and fresh sneakers. Phones pop up for the first big hook, then pockets again when the beat deepens. Chants fire on the word "Medallo" and on DJ call-outs, with Spanish and English trading off in the same breath. Merch trends toward block fonts, Medellin callouts, and simple caps; black and sky blue are common. Deep-cut fans mouth whole verses to
Quien TV, and nod along to drops even when the lights dim. After the last song, small groups often hang near the exit trading favorite lines and comparing hometown shows.
The engine room: beats, voice, and lift
Hooks that punch above their weight
On stage,
Blessd leans into a steady mid-low register, using a tight, percussive delivery that snaps to the kick.
Small choices, big momentum
The DJ runs clean edits with longer intros, so the chorus lands wide and gives space for crowd replies. You will hear airy synth pads and little guitar licks in the tracks, while any added percussion sits light to keep the vocal upfront. He likes quick transitions, often linking songs at similar tempos so the energy keeps climbing without big pauses. A common live tweak is a beat mute for a bar before the drop returns heavier, which makes the hook feel bigger without changing the song. Lighting follows the rhythm with color wipes and brief strobes on the downbeat, more mood painter than light show. Expect one softer section where he half-sings over a sparse loop before the party run resets.

Ryan Castro, the street-ready swagger and drum programming overlap.
Justin Quiles connects through songwriting chops and shared collabs, including the smash
Medallo.
Lenny Tavarez brings the same sleek, romantic edge that bridges club and pop. All four acts favor crisp hooks over long verses, and they ride that sticky dembow in different shades. Live, their shows use similar arcs: slow-burn openers, mid-set party runs, then a sentimental closer. So if you rotate these artists on playlists, this set should click fast.
