Beleaf Melanin

The wonderful and talented Glen Henry is a very technical and concept driven artist, as well as a YouTube personality and creator. He is better known by his stage name Beleaf Melanin, the inspirational Hip-Hop artist who blends sharp lyricism with spoken word poetry and soulful grooves. But he is more than a musician, he is also a proud father with a mission to develop and inspire fellow fathers all over the world through his YouTube channel, Beleaf In Fatherhood, and his TikTok account beleafinfatherhood.

Born and raised in Baltimore, Beleaf grew up a victim of physical and mental abuse. He struggled with depression because he never believed that he was worth much and often contemplated suicide. But through music he self-healed and found his true calling and worth. He started out as a DJ supporting MCs. He then became the hype man, and soon after he started rapping. He has travelled up and down the United States performing at countless colleges and festivals with his group theBREAX, and opening for fellow musical artists such as Lecrae, Andy Mineo, War, Arrested Development, and Wu Tang. Then, in 2015, he started up his own YouTube channel, Beleaf In Fatherhood, to equip fellow fathers, give hope to mothers, and to inspire children. To date it has nearly 800k subscribers, with well over 154 million views. But it was when he started posting content to TikTok that his fame really rocketed, and now he has 2.3 million followers on the platform, with close to 54 million likes.

Beleaf regularly connects with his hundreds of thousands of followers and fans through TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, posting pictures and videos about his life around family and music. He is also available for that personalised shout-out via the Cameo platform, and has a dedicated YouTube channel, Beleaf In Fatherhood.
