We were lucky to catch up with Joseph Pacheco recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Joseph thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there an experience or lesson you learned at a previous job that’s benefited your career afterwards?

Build your dream or another person will hire you to build their dream for them! Jobs dont offer any guarantees for employees now days! Most people are comfortable waiting for a pay check. I had to get out of that comfort zone and go get what i really wanted. Besides I seen a lot of people with great career jobs struggle once they retire living pay check to pay check. They thought the job benefits would take care of them. The way I’ve always looked at it. I’m not a slave I’m human. I’ve been let go at jobs with no notice or any backup plans so i started to get smarter about working 9 to 5 jobs Have a plan.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

In 2019, I signed a distribution/marketing record deal with Grammy award winner Luca dayz and Bentley records.

I was homeless for over eight years! But five of those years, I did it by choice. I’ve been to jail three times and knew I had to change my lifestyle for the good. I always had a job and worked 9 to 5 jobs I just wanted to think smarter for a better life. Since I grow up in a poverty non educational area. I wanted to beat the odds. I jumped house to house staying with friends. I slept in my car and at the park taking baths in fastfood restaurants and inside department stores. I struggled and saved any type of money I got from working a 9 to 5 job! I was rapping and explaining what I did in my song called title: broke for two days! I was making about 20k a year at the time and did the math 20 x 5 years is 100k so I created this idea and went for it. I wanted to sacrifice everything now while I’m young to invest into my future and my dream.

My career got interesting in the winter of 2013 I moved to Santa Fe, NM in search of a better life and opportunities after leaving Albuquerque, NM from my past negative lifestyle I was looking for change. I met actress and music producer Sheryl Roberts. Roberts owned a full acting and recording studio in Santa Fe. I was broke and homeless but kept determined to reach my goals. Music was a way out I figured, just like the pass when I need to escape reality and life music was the way. So Roberts offered me a deal! Free studio time to record my music projects, Vocal lessons, and acting classes. In return, all she asked from me was a small donation to her nonprofit and community volunteering when I could to help out.

So I begin to work with her for the next two years while taking vocal lessons and acting classes. I got to record my music in her studio. In 2014 No Feelinz my rap name and brand gained the likes of Grammy-nominated producer ke on tha track while still being homeless fighting poverty dealing with quiting music all together the opportunity to work with ke did not go through. Until Summer of 2015, I got the chance to collaborate on a major song with major recording artist rapper Mike Jones and I hired Roberts to produce the song. In the spring of 2016 No Feelinz and Mike Jones performed their song on stage at the reloaded music tour. Now after leaving Roberts studio with the knowledge and having the chance to work and perform next to a big act. I was in search of bigger music opportunities. That’s when I met Dennis Javier Jasso a Latino music producer well known in Mexico and in the southwest United States. I started recording and working with Dennis in his studio from 2016 to the winter of 2018 I would learn how to produce my own music, audio engineering, marketing, and the basics of Latino music and culture. I began self-studying finances, real estate, and music Business. Me and Dennis Javier Jasso would go on to be nominated four times in a row from 16 – 19 for best hiphop song in the state at the NM awards.
