Bellarios is the combined forces of Monterey Bay Area native, Andrew Belleci, and the nomadic but primarily Southern California/Mission Viejo based Scottie Larios. Andrew and Scottie began playing music together as worship leaders, despite their seemingly different musical tastes and styles. When both Central California transplants were asked by a mutual friend if they would play live together for the filming of a local television show, they agreed. During the long hours of filming, music started flowing, grooves started growing, and Bellarios was born. By combining the smooth vocals and jazzy fret work of Andrew on guitar and vocals with Scottie's funky groove laden beats on percussion, Bellarios creates a sound that is upbeat and refreshing with influences of Jason Mraz, Marc Broussard and a spike of hip hop.
