There are two artists known as Geraldo. Gerald Walcan Bright, better known as Geraldo (10 August 1904, London, England - 4 May 1974, Vevey, Switzerland) was a British bandleader. Bright adopted the name "Geraldo" in 1930 to become one of the most popular dance-band leaders of the 1930s with his "sweet music" and his "Gaucho Tango Orchestra". During the 1940s, he modernized his style to continue enjoying great success. The second Geraldo is a house DJ. His DJ career began in Braunschweig’s Hamburger Straße, day after day he stood at the 1210s of the club Atlantis. This was the point at which his hobby became his job, or rather vocation. Innumerable appearances in Braunschweig Club and later throughout Germany followed. But it was during his ten-year long residency at the fashionable Hannover Club ZaZa that he began to produce. After a few years he met Danya Vodovoz, who had previously produced for Peppermint Jam, Native and Ministry of Sound. The two joined forces as the formation Nouvelle. As Nouvelle they released on Stereo Cool (Spain) and Cheese Records (Germany). His biggest hit turned out to be their cover of Billy Ocean’s classic “Caribbean Queen”, with a remix contributed by the successful producer Jerry Ropero. “Caribbean Queen” became a permanent fixture on the dance floors. Geraldo has constantly developed his DJ sets over the years and because of this he is amongst the few DJs capable of mixing the different house styles and constantly captivating his audience with something new. Little wonder, then, that he is always fully booked. In addition to his numerous DJ appearances, Geraldo founded the label deepah recordings in Autumn 2006. After just a few releases it became an international name in the house scene. At the beginning of 2007 he went a step further with the sub label deepah electro, so he is now the man behind two small but very sweet labels.
