Dimelo Flow (aka Jorge Valdes Vasquez) is a prolific, chart-topping, Panamanian-born DJ, producer, and recording artist. He has played an essential role in the creation of some of Latin music's biggest chart hits during the second decade of the 21st century in hip-hop, trap, and R&B, including the number one smash "Otro Trago" by Sech and Darrel. He also worked on Karol G's and J Balvin's "Ocean." While Flow refuses the reggaeton label, his work is steeped in the urbano/Latin trap tradition with its skittering, slippery beats, floating keyboards and samples, and breezy, open spaces for sung and rapped vocals. Though he began recording his own singles in 2017 and 2018, it was in 2019 that he signed an artist deal with Interscope as part of a collaboration with Rich Music. In 2022, he netted two charting singles in "Suelta" and "Winnie Pooh." His debut album, Always Dream, appeared in June.

Born in Panama City, music was not the first consideration for Jorge Valdes Vasquez, the future Dimelo Flow. Instead, he pursued basketball and intended to make it a career. At age 14, however, he broke his femur in a car accident and was forced to abandon his plan. At 15, he started DJ'ing at school and house parties. He'd graduated to clubs by 17 and for the next couple of years honed his skills in them. He began to care passionately about music and often traveled to New York City to educate himself about the music business and gain more skill as a DJ. At 20, he acquired a job at a Florida radio station and worked as an engineer for two years. While there, he met countless hip-hop artists and in his spare time created his own mixes. Flow moved to Tampa at 22 and got a gig as a club DJ three nights per week. During his tenure there he met Justin Quiles and the pair hit it off. Impressed by the DJ's skills, both as a DJ and an engineer, Quiles hired Flow to produce his music. The pair moved to Miami as a team a few years later, and Flow began working with a host of urban artists including J Alvarez, J Balvin, Nacho, Bad Bunny, and Jory. From then on, the work never stopped. Dimelo Flow signed to Rich Music, home to some of the most cutting-edge Latin artists.

Over the next three years, he was in the studio almost daily. Along with the aforementioned tracks, he worked on dozens of others by a dazzling array of artists including the hits "ALOÓ" by BCA and "Me Gustaría" by Sech, Justin Quiles, and Jowell Randy. His video collaborations garnered tens of millions of views, and his productions between 2017 and 2018 racked up millions of streams. His chart success at streaming was truly international.

In June 2017, Flow released his debut single as an artist for Rich Music, "In the Morning" featuring Justin Quiles and Fuego, and it entered the streaming charts inside the Top 50. In 2018, as his production work landed in the top rungs of the charts, he issued the video and single "Envidiosos" featuring Farruko, Bryant Myers, Justin Quiles, Dalex, and Kelmitt. It racked up tens of millions of views and hit the streaming Latin charts inside the Top 20. He also produced the charting trap single "No Quiero Amarte" by Zion Lennox.

All of this led to 2019, when "Otra Trago" hit number one and scored nearly 104 million streams, even as he placed ten additional production tracks on the charts. In addition, he helmed the sessions for Farruko's hit album Gangalee. He signed an artist deal with Interscope as part of their exchange with Rich Music and began working on his debut album. He issued the pre-release single "El Favor," featuring Nicky Jam, Farruko, Sech, Zion, and Lunay, in September. It received over seven million streams during its release week. Later that month, he released Rich Music Dímelo Flow Present: The Avengers, with tracks by Lenny Tavarez, Quiles, Sech, Dalex, and Feid. In October, Members Only, Dimelo Flow's debut album as an artist, appeared on Interscope. Over the next couple of years, he produced or was featured on several hits including Bad Bunny's "Ignorantes," Anitta's "Quiero Rumba," and Dalex and company's "MMC."

In 2022, Flow recorded and co-produced three tracks from Daddy Yankee's LegenDaddy and issued his own charting singles, "Suelta" and "Winnie Pooh." In June he released his debut long-player Always Dream. Composed of a whopping 28 tracks, it offered appearances by a who's-who of urbano stars including Sech, Lenny Tavárez, Justin Quiles, and J Balvin (all of whom are featured on the album’s focus track "Qué Me Contás"). The abundance of other top-name contributors included Ozuna, Farruko, Reik, Mariah Angeliq, and Jay Wheeler, among others. The set landed inside the Top Ten on various Latin charts. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
