Don Glori is an anagram for producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Li. A product of the not-so-underground, genre-bending melting pot that is Naarm (Melbourne, Australia). Don Glori is now based in London, representing that DIY, can-do attitude on the global scale. Traversing jazz, funk, soul, RnB, samba, and beyond, his music is hard to describe but harder to forget.
Cutting his teeth touring for anyone and everyone from a young age, opera companies, cabarets, sessioning for bands and now finding himself rooted in Jazz. Li stepped into the limelight as a bandleader in 2022 after releasing his long awaited debut album ‘Welcome’ which garnered support from BBC, Worldwide FM, Rinse FM, KEXP, Tokyo FM, PBS and RRR. The album was nominated for the Australian Music prize as well as multiple Music Victoria awards.
Fast forward to 2024 after a veritable sweep of the Australian festival circuit and an EU / UK tour in 2023, Don Glori is still up to his old tricks, spending all of his earnings on amassing (hoarding) musical equipment, ticking off bucket list venues and tours, staying curious and trying his best. His next album is titled ‘Don’t Forget To Have Fun’ and will be released through DeepMatter records in June 2024.
