What is your creative process before working on any project?
I take inspiration from a lot of things around me and a lot of factors play into the final product that goes out. But at the end of the day, my fans push me and motivate me to do better and create music that I’m proud of and happy to make.
What was the idea behind the name Gordo?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and a lot of thought went into me changing my name to Gordo but a lot of it has to do with me spending a lot of time in Miami.
What are some of your upcoming projects?
I’m always working on something new and there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes. I’m looking forward to sharing it all with the world.
