Biography of GUDFELLA

Morning Coffee and the groove that opened the dancefloors

Morning Coffee, GUDFELLA's collaboration with Jitwam, has placed his name at the center of contemporary club house. The track, designed to sound massive on a good system, has received support from Michael Bibi, Adam Ten, BLOND:ISH, SG Lewis, Max Styler, Ayybo, Carlita, Alan Dixon, and Ahmed Spins, and is part of a catalog that exceeds 113 million streams. On the dancefloor, the track gains density: the hypnotic vocal and the house groove have turned it into a peak time weapon.

Born in Cebu (Philippines) and moved to the United States during his formative years, he fell in love with house in San Diego. There, during his university years, he began posting mashups and remixes in the late 2010s; the originals arrived in 2019 and the sound shifted from midtempo towards a bright, playful, and bass-heavy house, already audible in ALWAYS IN MY MIND :) (2022). Today he works from Los Angeles, with one foot on the dancefloor and the other in songwriting.

Galleria, Thrive and club pop with a voice of its own

In 2025 he released Galleria on Thrive Music: seven tracks presented as a gallery of tastes—pop, jazz, house, and techno—featuring Hayley May, Cailin Russo, Yung Bae, and Très Mortimer. The EP helped him establish a unique language beyond the single. In parallel, the tandem with Disco Lines was consolidated (back2u and Sunny, the latter premiered at Coachella), the vocal by Bipolar Sunshine on Feel This Way, and Rule The World (Everybody) alongside Tiësto, Tears for Fears, and NIIKO X SWAE, with over 40 million streams.

GUDFELLA does not limit himself to producing: he also sings on his own tracks, a habit carried over from Filipino family karaoke. His recent period adds Gator Boots with James Poole, Ride with Yamagucci and Karen Harding, and remixes like the one for Buttons by The Pussycat Dolls, always between festival house and afterhours.

From the Miami Terrace to the Coachella Do Lab

The live schedule has gone from opening for San Holo in San Diego to booths like The Terrace at Club Space and Brooklyn Mirage, and to lineups at HARD Summer, Lollapalooza, Breakaway, and Project Glow. In 2024 he performed on the HARDER Stage at HARD Summer; in 2026 he closed a circle by playing at the Do Lab at Coachella, the stage he frequented as an audience member since 2019. Booking in America is managed by Spin Artist Agency; management, Little Empire Music.
