Ma$as Tello-Cater is an inspiring rap musician from Canada. He is one of the very few ar$sts who has managed to see the limelight due to his hard work and a never-ending passion for music. Tello’s exemplary work proves that there is no shortcut to success. 

The inspira<on behind Tello’s passion for music 

‘G-Eazy is without a doubt my biggest influence in this rap game.’ Marks Ma$as Tello. He says that the ar$st started in a fully oversaturated area/scene in Oakland (the bay area) and s$ll came out on top. Tello respects him and has analyzed the challenges that G-Eazy has pushed through to get to the top. He says that he can also relate to G-Eazy because his rela$onship with his mother replicates the one Tello has. However, he believes that he is one of a kind.

The key to Ma<as’s success 

Tello believes that he is successful because he knows his worth no maWer what anybody says.

All this has helped Tello to achieve success. 

Mistakes that taught something valuable to Tello
