Gonzo a Colombian born, South London raised artist. Mixing a blend of jazz, blues, soul, salsa and hiphop. Summin' different. On this episode we talk about her two mums, moving to England at the age of 3 and taking the opportunities presented to her to be able to chase her craft as a genreless musician.

Gonzo’s genre-fluid style is awe-inspiring. On her debut 5-track EP, The Naked Bandit, which she released in 2021, a combination of jazzy, eclectic sounds added to the overall meditative space she hypnotically pulls you into. Finding inspiration on her day-to-day travels (“usually on the bus or the train, or just when I’m headed somewhere”) she’s thoughtful with her pen, a dreamer, and it shines through in her musical output
