GMO konzentriert sich dabei auf Musik außerhalb des Rock- und Pop-Mainstreams. Schwerpunkte liegen im Bereich Liedermacher / Singer-Songwriter, Weltmusik, wobei diese Definition bei GMO Musik von Alternative-Rock aus Spanien bis zu europäisch-afrikanischer Jazz-Fusion umfasst, Musik mit kölschen Texten jenseits des Karnevals sowie Kinderlieder und meditative Musik.

Zu den bekanntesten GMO-Künstlern zählen AG Arsch huh, basta (A Cappella), Fug und Janina (Kindermusik-Duo), Mike Herting, Björn Heuser, Jenny And The Mexicats (Mexiko), Köster & Hocker (Liederpreis 2018, Preis der Schallplattenkritik 2019/Q3), Peggy Sugarhill & Rockemarieche, Hans Süper, Vetusta Morla (Spaniens Nr. 1 Alternative-Rock Band), William Wahl und Wonderwall.

GMO – The label has started its activities in late spring 2012. Since then an up until Feb. 2016 GMO has put out over 100 releases in physical and / or digital formats. Many of the songs released on GMO are also published through GMO's publishing company.

GMO focuses on "world music", not in a genre sense, but in a sense of internationality and of being non-mainstream: artists / releases come from New Zealand, Africa, USA, Eastern Europe, Berlin and GMO's hometown Cologne.

GMO also runs sublabel TMO that releases music for children and traditional music.

GMO was founded by artist, producer, arranger and conductor Mike Herting and music managers Walter Puetz (EMI, Chlodwig Musik, BMG a.m.) and Ralf Plaschke (Popkomm, 7digital, a.m.).

Alice Wonder

In just two years, Alice Wonder has been able to establish her artistic project in the Spanish music scene. This 22-year-old promising artist has been working with Infarto Producciones since the beginning of her career. Her passion for music flourished from playing her parent's instruments in her room and listening to her sister's indie rock records from a very young age. At first, she gained popularity through cover videos published on her Instagram account (insert here) under the hashtag #15secondcover and which she played in her own style.
