From SoCal Roots to Genre-Bending Rhythms
Born and raised in Southern California’s Antelope Valley, Salvador Angulo, known artistically as Vadoreo, is more than just an independent hip-hop artist—he’s a multi-instrumentalist, a self-taught producer, and a storyteller with soul. In just 3-4 years of making music, Vadoreo has evolved from a passionate fan into a creator who refuses to be boxed in.
Rooted in a musically rich family, Vadoreo’s early love for drums, bass, and guitar laid the groundwork for his creative expression. “Music was always in the house,” he says. “It only made sense for me to eventually grab the pen and tell my own story.”
New Album Spotlight: CCTV: Can’t Control Tomorrow’s Vision
Vadoreo’s sophomore album, CCTV: Can’t Control Tomorrow’s Vision, is out now on all platforms—and it’s not your typical hip-hop project. The title reflects the essence of unpredictability in life. It’s emotional, raw, thoughtful, and chaotic all at once.
“It represents the magnitude of human emotion,” he explains. “It’s meant to be happy, sad, maddening, doubtful, hopeful, confusing, certain—ultimately uncontrollable.”
Through CCTV, listeners are taken on a journey through multiple chapters of his life, each track a snapshot of an emotion, a moment, or a state of mind. The album weaves through genre fusions, showcasing his versatility and refusal to conform to one sound.
A Self-Made Sound: Produced, Mixed, and Mastered by Vadoreo
One of the most impressive aspects of CCTV is that it’s heavily self-produced, mixed, and mastered. Vadoreo has complete creative control, and that authenticity is felt in every bar, beat, and breath.
“Having total control of my process is very important to me,” he says. “I want my music to be as authentic to me as possible.”
Each sound, rhythm, and nuance was crafted by his own hands, with a few valuable contributions from close producer friends. This DIY ethic is what sets Vadoreo apart from the crowd—it’s music straight from the source, unfiltered and full of intention.
Not Just Hip-Hop: Music for Everyone
Although hip-hop is the foundation, Vadoreo’s sound stretches far beyond. Rock, R&B, soul, lo-fi, and experimental influences echo throughout CCTV. His diverse background and musical knowledge make the album accessible to a wide audience.
“This album is for everyone. I truly believe there’s at least one song for everyone to enjoy.”
Whether you’re here for introspective lyrics, genre-blending production, or emotional vulnerability, CCTV delivers. It’s not just a project—it’s a testimony of life in motion.
What’s Next for Vadoreo?
With CCTV making waves and his reputation as an independent artist growing, Vadoreo is focused on building his community and continuing to evolve. His goal is simple yet powerful: to make music that represents real people and real feelings.
