THE ROOKIE: Belouis Martinez
WHAT HE DOES: Lead singer for Ambellina
Why he rocks: Sometimes lead singers are not the rock stars of the band, but in the case of Ambellina, Belouis can whip a crowd into a frenzy in the first 30 seconds of their set. He has this energy that just exudes from him and everyone around is affected. Not to mention he has those adorable dimples.
Song: Those already familiar with Ambellina will agree their new song "I'll Just Sleep on It" has a different sound, but the clever lyrics remain. Belouis' vocals are a bit more raw than what you'll find on their EP which gives the song more of an edge and better represents what the band sounds like live.
Next show: Not scheduled
