Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Pasquale Panico . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Pasquale , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
I have taken a lot of risks in my life, none being as big as this one. In pursuit of being an artist and making music, the point I am at now has been 17 years in the making. This path I have taken, has been one that until the last year and a half was done in the darkness with no one knowing. I was never allowed to pursue a career in my passion, joy, & love for music. This is the beginning of what hopefully becomes an epic story and legacy.
Pasquale , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I have loved all kinds of music since I can remember as far back to six years old. The last year, I was signed as an independent artist to Bentley Records. This was made possible simply by finally releasing some songs and learning how to do all of that on my own. Without help from anyone. In the year and a half or so of that span I have released 77 songs across 30 major stores and platforms, reached the top 25 in Chicago land artists, and also landed a spot on the 2022/2023 Bentley Gang Tour. In the meantime, we have been played or streamed in over 100 countries worldwide. A term some of the team and inner circles have dubbed/said “we’re international like IHOP”. My goal is to build this brand, with the sound, visuals, merchandise and people I touch along the way to build something truly unique and raw. A story from a first generation Italian on the North side of Chicago who’s family came straight off the boat from Italy.
Along the way, I have met other people in this industry which I am learning is 90% business and 10% music. Many of these people are either other artists, or business executives from the entertainment world. All in all, it still to me is a “flesh of flesh, blood of blood” type of world. All of these celebrated individuals are truly great and people just like all of us.

Alright – so here’s a fun one. What do you think about NFTs?
My view is that it is an expanding growing area of something that already existed. NFT’s have been around forever! They have never been given a term or name. I think the best part of this new wave of art is the different ways and methods it is creating so much revenue and income. From a personal and business stand point in multiple ways.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Being able to express myself through my life story. Music, an art combined with something your passionate about in life is always something I felt is truly rewarding. I don’t care about fame or a lens, I want to leave a legacy and a Benz… the most rewarding part will be winning and sharing that with others if my passion in life of creating art and music becomes successful.
