At Electronic Dance Magazine, there are many artists who come to our attention, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. But there’s one in particular that holds a special place in our hearts: Deorro. With beginnings that are closely knit with our family, to his meteoric rise in the EDM world, the journey of Deorro is a tale of raw talent, innovation, and unyielding passion.
Before the world recognized the name Deorro, he was Erick Orrosquieta, a passionate music enthusiast hailing from West Covina, California. From a tender age, Erick’s prodigious talents for creating compelling rhythms and melodies shone through, captivating all who heard his productions. This early promise hinted at a future beyond the boundaries of his hometown. As time progressed, his unique sound and innovative approach to electronic music didn’t go unnoticed. The global dance community quickly embraced him, propelling Orrosquieta from the local stages of Los Angeles to grand platforms around the world, where he soon became synonymous with groundbreaking dance tracks and unforgettable live performances.
Deorro’s debut on the main stage was 11 years ago at Fresh Anniversary in Pico Sports Arena CA. Back then, he was rocking the alias ‘Tonic’. Check out the throwback video below!
