Gerardo Ortiz

Born on October 5, 1989, in Pasadena, California, Gerardo Ortiz is a singer, songwriter and record producer. While performing at a baptism party in Sinaloa, Mexico, at the age of 8, a label executive asked if he wanted to record his first album. Ortiz made his full-length debut in 2009 with the live album "En Vivo las Tundras" on Del Records. The following year he made his major-label studio album debut with "Ni Hoy Ni Mañana." By the end of 2010, Ortiz was the top-selling regional Mexican act, and he won six honors at the inaugural Billboard Mexican Music Awards the following year, including artist and new artist of the year. In January of 2016, Ortiz was the subject of two programs, "Como un Sueño" and "Gerardo Ortiz: Sin Censura," a four-episode biographical documentary. In honor of his career milestone, Ortiz launched his X Aniversario tour on May 16, 2021 in Florida to support "Décimo Aniversario," an 11-track album that features a Sinaloan band and traditional mariachi rhythms.
