R&B artist José Quervo just released his highly anticipated single, “Uber Eats”. In the song, Quervo takes something as everyday as ordering late-night food and turns it into a clever R&B record. Produced by 3x Grammy-winning producer Deezle, the track is built on a clean guitar loop, a warm sub-bass groove, and a steady rimshot knock that pairs Quervo’s smooth crooning and soaring falsetto with polished R&B production, resulting in a deep and hypnotic slow-burn.
Raised in New Orleans with roots in Puerto Rico, José’s path to music was sidelined by a tough fight against Stage 4 cancer. Guided by long-time collaborator Nov Did It and joining forces with producer Deezle, Quervo delivers a raw, intoxicating soundscape. Blending trap, R&B, hip-hop, and Latin influences, his music moves seamlessly between night-drive trance beats, street-honed grit, and uninhibited R&B vulnerability. Drawing inspiration from icons like Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny, he’s on a mission to restore true romance, intimacy, and raw emotion. “Uber Eats” is from his forthcoming full-length due out this year.
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Orleans, José Quervo has lived through enough to earn everything he’s making now. Dance came first for him, before music did. He grew up moving, and singing in his church choir, long before he ever stepped into a studio. He was signed twice early in his career, and then a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis stopped everything, forcing him to face his own mortality while his career was still taking shape.
He thought he was making his last album. He put everything into it: his fear, his faith, whatever he had left. That project didn’t end up being a farewell. It turned into a resurrection.
Producer Nov Did It (N-O-V-M-B-R) was there through all of it, helping José turn what he was going through into music, recording without knowing how any of it would end. Those sessions are still the foundation of his story.
Now, healthy and back at work, José is starting a new chapter with three-time Grammy-winning producer Deezle of The Box Bangers. Together they’re building something that moves between Trap, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Latin sounds, a mix that comes out sounding like nobody but José.
His influences go back to Michael Jackson, who he watched growing up and modeled a lot of his performance instincts after. From there he found Jodeci, Ginuwine, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Bryson Tiller, and Lucky Daye, singers who weren’t afraid to sound soft. On the rap side, he’s drawn to the melodic style Future, Drake, Young Thug, and Lil Wayne brought into hip-hop, rappers who basically started singing, and he pulls the confidence in his music from artists like Rick Ross. Being Puerto Rican shapes a lot of what he makes too. He grew up on Bad Bunny and Anuel, has family in the game (his cousin A1 La Salsa, and Luar La L), and likes to slip Spanish into his records as a way of staying connected to that side of him.
Music wasn’t the obvious path for him. He grew up around gang culture and street life, and for a long time he was told R&B wasn’t something a guy like him did. Artists like R. Kelly changed that, made it feel possible for a street dude to make love songs and still be taken seriously. That’s part of what makes his music his: nobody else has lived his life, so nobody else can write it. His sound tends to live at night, chasing a kind of trance, something that’s supposed to move your body and your head the way a drug might, minus the drug.
His next project, Aquaman, is built around that survival and that rebirth. But underneath it, José is really trying to bring lovemaking back into R&B. He talks about wanting to bring back that moment in the club when the DJ would finally slow it down after a night of hard partying, and you’d get your one shot to go talk to the person you’d been watching all night. He thinks love has turned into something closer to a business deal between people, and he wants his music to be the thing that gets men to be vulnerable again, to actually talk to the person they love instead of playing it cool.
His singles “BAD” and “Uber Eats” are out now leading into the album. He’s not trying to make a comeback. He’s introducing people to the artist he was always supposed to be.
José writes, sings, performs, and puts on a show, and all of it comes from the same place: things he actually lived through. What separates him is that none of it feels performed. He survived first. Everything else came after.
