Mylo Waiters grew up in North Philadelphia’s Johnson Holmes Project, surrounded by classic old-school music and a family that encouraged his talents. Born Martell Waiters Jr., he’s now releasing “Self Love” under Blackground Records 2.0, his debut single and a statement about resilience and self-empowerment.
“Self Love” runs 3:13 and showcases Waiters’ blend of hard-hitting production and crisp vocals. The track centers on self-acceptance and empowerment, with lyrics that balance personal experience and universal themes. It’s built to connect, not just play in the background.
Waiters’ musical foundation came from his mother and grandmother’s record collection. By 11, he’d developed his own style. His career included a stint in a boy band signed to LA Reid before landing at Blackground Records 2.0 as a solo artist. He’s performed at the NOVO for the BET Experience and opened for artists like Trey Songz and Gladys Knight.
Waiters fuses classic and contemporary R&B with an unexpected edge, mixing singing and rapping in ways that set him apart. The approach has earned him viral attention and a following that’s hungry for his take on R&B.
“Self Love” doubles as both debut and declaration. Waiters explains, “Self Love is like a note to myself and others that no matter what you go through, always remember to love yourself first and foremost because nobody got you like you got you.”
Waiters’ goal is straightforward: bring R&B back to the forefront with music that connects across generations. Blackground Records 2.0, known for its work with Aaliyah and Timbaland, gives him the platform to pursue that vision.
Fans can follow Waiters’ progress on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. “Self Love” represents both a personal statement and a broader message about self-worth through music.
