Journey
Belo Salo, born Sifiso Sabelo Neo Nkhoma, is a South African artist redefining alternative R&B and "new wave" music. He combines layered, ethereal vocals with the experimental energy of Johannesburg and Pretoria’s underground, creating a mood-driven style that emphasizes emotional depth and atmospheric production over commercial trends.
Originally from Johannesburg South, his early life drew from church gospel to alternative rock. During school, he honed the distinctive lo-fi vocal texture that became his signature. His career gained momentum with Revenge Club Records, where he developed a sound for the misunderstood. He broke through nationally in 2021 through contributions to A-Reece’s "Today’s Tragedy, Tomorrow’s Memory," introducing his avant-garde aesthetic to a wider audience.
His discography includes the 2023 project "CHOZEN REJECTboi" and the 2025 album "wish on a $TAR +," featuring the acclaimed track "timing" with Blxckie. Recognized within alternative streaming circuits, he is a key figure in the "Chozen Reject" movement. In 2026, he continues to expand his influence through an international tour while representing South African contemporary music globally.
