Deorro was born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents. He began his DJ career by playing at local gigs when he was 14. By the time Deorro turned 17, he was already producing his own tracks.[1] In 2012, he was asked by DJ Chuckie to remix his track "Make Some Noise". Deorro's remix landed in the top 50 on Beatport. He has since remixed tracks from multiple international famed DJs such as Steve Aoki, Laidback Luke, and Gareth Emery, among others.

On 17 May 2014, Deorro announced on his Twitter page he was going to take a break from DJing in order to have more focus on making music and expanding his record label, Panda Funk.[3] He guest-starred on the MTV series Teen Wolf as the DJ. In August 2014 he released the single "Rambo" with J-Trick. On 18 October 2014, Deorro received the award for highest new entry on the 'DJmag top 100 DJs 2014' contest, he hit spot 19. He also played a half-hour set at the 'DJmag top 100 DJs' event, which took place during ADE in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

In March 2015, he released a third version of "Five Hours" with Chris Brown, titled "Five More Hours". The song has charted in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. On 31 March 2017, Deorro released his debut album, Good Evening, which features 26 tracks, including his new single "Rise and Shine".
