Note by Note

In this weeks episode of Note by Note radio we will be talking the life and career of Roulette Delgato. From being born in prison and bouncing around different foster homes, to opening for Boo Bomb 6 at the Moda Center in front of 20,000 people, Roulette Delgato is changing the Portland music scene with his body-affirming, Pride-representing, heavy concept- hitting music.

A rapper, singer, and songwriter born and raised in Portland, Oregon, he is best known for crystal clear, rapid speed vocal ability, a slow and witty metaphoric flow, as well as a unique singing voice, all layered

over arena-smacking instrumentals. From Hip-Hop, to R&B, and anything in between, his style and finesse is unmatched. He has been doing music for twenty years and counting and has a multitude of live performances under his belt. Roulette is the recipient of four West Coast Hip-Hop Awards. One for Video of the Year for his out of the box themed video “Android” (2014); Artist of the Year (2016); the “Courage Award” (2018) for facing adversity as an openly gay artist; and most recently “Portland’s Rapper of the Year Award” (2019). Recently, Roulette Delgato won JAMN’ 107.5’s “Take the Stage” contest to earn himself the only local act at 2019’s Boo Bomb 6, where he opened for the likes of IceCube, E-40, ZAPPBand, Ginuwine, and Baby Bash.
