EL GORDO WAS ASSEMBLED IN 2002, A COLLABORATION OF THREE INDIVIDUALS MERGING THEIR MUSICAL TASTES, EXPERIENCES AND STYLES CREATING THEIR OWN DISTINCT SOUND AND FLAVOR OF MUSIC. THE MUSIC CANNOT BE PIGEON HOLED AS MAINSTREAM OR ABSOLUTE UNDERGROUND AS THE DIVERSITY OF THEIR INFLUENCES IS WHAT PUTS THEM IN A CLASS OF THERE OWN WITH THE SOUND RANGING FROM BUT NOT LIMITED TO HEAVY ROCK, HIP-HOP AND TRADITIONAL MEXICAN MUSIC. ALL THREE BEING NO STRANGERS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAVE A STORY AND HISTORY THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD. CHRIS HAS BEEN PERFORMING AND WRITING MUSIC FOR MANY HEAVY ROCK BANDS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS. LORENZO HAS BEEN DJ'ING AND PRODUCING BEATS AND SONGS SINCE 1999. NOEL HAS BEEN RAPPING PROFESSIONALLY IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH FOR THE LAST DECADE. THE FUSION OF THESE THREE DRIVING FORCES IS WHAT GIVES EL GORDO AN EDGE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR DYNAMIC LIVE PERFORMANCE BENT ON HIGH ENERGY WITH AN IN YOUR FACE AGGRESSIVE VOCAL DELIVERY, THUNDERING LIVE BASS GUITAR GIVING PUNCH AND POWER TO THEIR DRIVING BEATS AND MELODIES. AT THIS POINT THE GROUP HAS WRAPPED UP THE RECORDING OF THERE FIRST DEBUT ALBUM TITLED: "MOMENTO DE VERDAD " AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO TOURING NORTH AMERICA PLAYING AS MANY SHOWS AS POSSIBLE. EL GORDO IS: CHRISTOPHER ORTIZ - BASS GUITAR PLAYER LORENZO VAZQUEZ - PRODUCER NOEL ARTEAGA - VOCALIST
