GerardoMejia career
Gerardo made his film debut as Ricky in the 1987 feature film Can’t Buy Me, Love. He was later cast as the character Bird in the 1988 film Colors, which was about gang violence in South Central Los Angeles. This was also the first time he showed off his dancing abilities, in one of the party scenes; however, he did not sing at any point in the film.
On the 1991 debut album, Mo’ Ritmo, his hit track “Rico Suave” came out. The album debuted at #36 on the Billboard 200 list in June 1991, while the single peaked at #7 in April. This song, like some of Gerardo’s others, has verses with lines in both English and Spanish. Although his subsequent single “We Want the Funk” (a semi-remake of Parliament’s “Give Up the Funk”) peaked at #16, the popularity of “Rico Suave” has rendered Gerardo known as a one-hit-wonder by sources such as MTV, VH1, Synthesis, and even Gerardo himself.
Gerardo was now an A&R manager at Interscope Records who brought Enrique Iglesias to the attention of the Executives of the label at the beginning of 1999. Bubba Sparxxx was also a rapper. Recently, Gerardo discussed his latest topic on life as a Christian young pastor in an appearance at Katie Couric’s show Katie 2013. He has just been ordained a Pastor in Kansas City’s Praise Chapel.
