Inspired by the wide variety of music he heard around the neighborhoods of Washington, DC, Kid Gusto began studying music in the 1980s. By the late 90s, he had added DJing and production to his already wide repertoire. In short time, KG secured residencies in Washington, DC, Las Vegas, Orlando and , and five singles and TrueGrooves, a Washington DC based record label, followed.
Since then, he has begun to explore video production, specifically sound recording and mixing, in course to Los Angeles. That is not to say that his passion for music has waned. His releases continue to find success around the world, most notably “The Squelch” on Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Records and a remix of Jimmy Dorsey’s Big Band classic “Hit the Note” on Miami’s Sunswept Records.
In late 2007, he released KG Originals, his first full length, which found almost universal acclaim with critics and fans alike. And much like his first experiences with music in the neighborhoods of Washington DC, KG continues to surprise and please crowds with a sound that only follows one rule–whether slow or fast, whether rock or soul, any song he plays or makes has, in the words of James Brown, “got to be funky.”
