Gilbere Forte / Nylo

The inspiration to take music seriously led Gilbere to pursue a degree in Entrepreneurship & Business Management at Temple University, where he enrolled in the fall of 2006. As Gilbere progressed as a musician, he was aided by his brother DeNiro's own growth in the industry. Working in radio, brand management, and through his own production efforts, DeNiro provided Gilbere a trusted guide through the challenges of selling and working in music. Through him, Gilbere was introduced to the Junior Music Executive Program which lead to an internship with Studio 609 and award winning production duo Dre & Vidal. The experience and experimentation with Reason and Logic, along with live instrumentation, presented a true opportunity for Gilbere to carve out his own sonic identity. Staying close to the business while building his musical foundation he took another step in his progression as an artist – teaming up with fellow producer from Temple, Rakib "Raak" Uddin.

In 2009, Gilbere formalized his relationship with Raak. The two busily began preparing Gilbere's debut, 87 Dreams.The release has successfully solidified Gilbere as a strong voice not to be ignored. The critical acclaim, led to a slew of 2010 featured guest appearances, most notably, Stromae's "Alors On Danse" remix also featuring Kanye West, the Yeasayer remix of Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over", and the Diplo-produced "Up All Night" by Alex Clare. With the recent February 2011 release of his Don Cannon-hosted EYES of VERITAS mixtape and popularity increasing, Gilbere is promising to "change lives, moods, and vibes."
