Backstage With A.J. Castillo

Episode 94 - In this episode of Latino Business Report, I sit down for a one-on-one interview with Grammy Award winner A.J. Castillo.

Renowned for his abilities on the accordion and his talent in Cumbia and Tejano music, A.J. is blazing trails in the music industry.

A.J. wears many hats as a recording artist, accordionist, singer, performer, producer, and he now has his own record label. But beyond his musical prowess, A.J.'s genuine warmth and kindness truly sets him apart.

In preparation for this interview, I had the privilege of spending time with A.J. He gave me a private tour of his new studio, we broke bread, and I even had the opportunity to meet his parents.

Getting to know him on a personal level revealed his unwavering dedication to his craft and his deep-rooted commitment to community service. It's no wonder he stands out among Tejano artists.

Join me as we go backstage for an intimate conversation with AJ Castillo – Trust me, it doesn't get any better than this!
