Mini bio
How it started.
Gerardo began singing at eight. In a 2011 Billboard interview, he recalled learning from the music his family played, including his father on guitar. A promoter heard him sing at a family party and decided to record him; that first record was Encuentro de Amor.
Finding his voice.
Ni Hoy Ni Mañana, released in 2010, became a breakthrough and earned a Grammy nomination. He followed it with El Primer Ministro, another Grammy-nominated album. His corridos progresivos put the feelings of the people in the stories at the center of the song.
Songs for different moods.
His catalog makes room for romantic songs as well as corridos. In 2023, No Tengo Rival included “Listos Pa la Guerra,” “El Gabito” and “Gente del Nini.” El Ejemplar followed in 2025, with “Échame el Grito,” “Afectado” and a collaboration with Código FN.
