Gerard Flores is a bilingual singer and actor from Buenos Aires, Argentina currently living and working in Los Angeles.
After a successful TV and music career in Argentina, Gerard came to the US to take his career to new heights. With a vision of bringing world-class performance to Latin pop music, Gerard set out on the creation of his debut EP. Gerard’s music is inspired by the performance caliber of JLo, the sex symbol status of Ricky Martin and the dance moves of Chayanne. Gerard’s music has a distinct and fresh sound bringing together influences of pop, flamenco and reggaeton in a modern way that connects across cultural lines.

Gerard’s mission is to use music to empower people to be radically authentic regardless of religion, race, sex, sexual orientation or image. Being the victim of bullying as a kid, Gerard experienced the isolation of being different. It was music that shifted Gerard’s mindset from seeing his differences as a liability to seeing his uniqueness as power. Today, Gerard’s music aims to inspire people to celebrate their differences and claim their unique power.
In his first EP as a solo artist, Gerard has partnered with the multi-Grammy nominated and Latin Grammy winner Trevor Muzzy who has produced JLo, Lady Gaga, Alejandro Sanz, Pablo Alborán and RedOne. Gerard co-wrote the songs with Aleena Gibson a Swedish songwriter who is known for working with Jason Derulo, Nick Carter, Chenoa, and David Bisbal.

In Argentina, Gerard had a successful career across television, theater and music. Gerard was a daily cast member of the highest rated TV show in Argentina, Susana Gimenez, recording 300 episodes over the span of multiple years. Prior to Susana Gimenez, Gerard toured throughout Latin America as part of the musical Lucia la Maga directed by the celebrated singer Valeria Lynch. After Lucia la Maga Gerard went on to star in six separate musicals each touring through South America.
In the US, Gerard has been cast in From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Harbinger: The Movie, My Secret Lake and multiple international commercials. Gerard has also written and produced a Web Series called Just Living:The Series, which can be found on Amazon Prime.
