Acquiring a taste for guitar and drums when he was growing up in Los Angeles, at the age of 14, Something Wicked artist Deorro started DJing at local gigs and house events. Formally known as Ton!c, Deorro turned his love for music into a career when he began to produce his own tracks.
Not long after he released his music on Soundcloud, Deorro began to garner a huge following. His music began to spread rapidly with releases like “Fire” and “Voodoo” having hit over one million downloads on the web. After this milestone, Deorro sold out two events in Australia, helping to solidify his position on the international DJ circuit.
Now 22 years old, Deorro has two sons and his dedication has turned into a remarkable lifestyle change for the better, “I never imagined it would be like this, traveling all days around the world. The thing that makes me very happy is that I can help my sons and my family. In my childhood, things were not very good but now that I have reach this success I think it’s time to give back to my parents and my people what they gave me. I’ll never stop working!”
With over 80,000 followers on Soundcloud, Deorro is one of the youngest international talents gracing the charts today. Dubbing his unique genre of electro house “Panda Funk,” Deorro’s EP Elevation reached the Beatport’s Top 20 electro house chart and even gained support from artists like Laidback Luke, Tiësto, Kaskade and Steve Aoki.
Although he’s released music on a variety of different labels like “Bounce” on Laidback Luke’s Mixmash Records, “Get Up” on Sidney Samson’s Rock The Houze Records and “Faster Horses” on Ultra Records, he’s also created his own label PandaFunk Records, an imprint showcasing his signature style.
Deorro’s music is a mixture of catchy melodies, big sweeps and hard breakdowns. Merging the two parts of his last name, the name Deorro is seemingly everywhere, releasing some top quality Dutch electro and progressive influenced bangers. But the styles that he’s influenced by don’t stop there. Still high off of his Elevation EP out on Dim Mak, Deorro seamlessly tied drumstep, house, dutch, trance, heavy electro, and even some moombahcore elements in the the release, expanding on a sound that is uniquely his own.
