Gordo Quotes
Diamanté Anthony Blackmon, known professionally as Gordo (stylized GORDO) and formerly known as Carnage (or DJ Carnage), is a Nicaraguan-American disc jockey, record producer, and former rapper.
Born in Washington, DC and raised by Nicaraguan parents. He first gained recognition for his DJ mixes and live performances at music festivals such as Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival. He began releasing EDM singles in 2012 and occasionally performed as a recording artist; however, he has since retired from doing so, along with his Carnage stage name in favor of Gordo in 2022, after which he began working solely in production for other artists.
His debut studio album, Papi Gordo (2015) peaked atop the Dance/Electronic Albums chart and narrowly entered the Billboard 200. Its preceding single, "I Like Tuh" (with ILoveMakonnen) received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second album, Battered Bruised & Bloody (2018) further delved into hip hop and was critically panned.
Blackmon rebranded under the alias Gordo at Club Space in Miami, then went on to release "KTM," his first single under the Gordo name, in February 2021. As Gordo, he performed at the Art of the Wild music festival at Wynn Las Vegas in March 2021. He released his second single under the Gordo alias, "Taraka," in September 2021.
In May 2022, he retired the name Carnage after 14 years in favor of his new alias as Gordo. He made the change to reflect his transition from trap and bass to the house and techno subgenres.
