Born as Robert Anthony Gutierrez, ODM (One Dope Mexican), began his music career at the age of 16. Once his talent surfaced he became amongst the top few to start the official movement of the early-90’s Latin rap/hip-hop explosion through his group, Lighter Shade of Brown (LSOB). LSOB was formed in Riverside, CA, in 1990. ODM has “rapped” himself into selling well over 1 million records as an Artist/Producer worldwide along with his partner DTTX. With songs that reached the Billboard charts such as “On A Sunday Afternoon”, “Homies” and “Hey DJ”, ODM has clearly confirmed his establishment with a marked stamp in the early-90’s mainstream of Hip Hop.
In 2000, ODM began his radio career at a local rhythmic station, 99.1 KGGIFM, located in Riverside, CA. There he became the Music Director/Night Jock where he worked on –air weeknights from 6-10pm. Later in 2004, he landed an additional late Night Jock position for the #1 market in the country with 102.7 KIISFM where he worked on-air weeknights 10p-2a. ODM has played a significant role towards the success of both radio stations, allowing him a position, which participated towards the rise of the #1 spot for both stations in their individual markets, according to Arbitron Ratings in 2000-2010.
Currently, ODM is continuing his position with radio along with DJing/Hosting nightclubs and corporate events locally. He also manages to tour with his group, Lighter Shade of Brown, at different shows throughout the country. With his 10 years of experience as an Artist/Producer and 10 years as a Radio Personality/Music Director, it is fair to say that ODM is no stranger to the Music Industry.
