Today we’d like to introduce you to Pluto Pazzo.
Hi Pluto, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Music for me has always played a prevalent role in my life. As far back as I can remember it’s been the one constant that I’ve gravitated towards. Most people haven’t been made aware of this but a little known fact about me is I was tone death for a when I started off singing but I’ve always enjoyed singing and imitating the kings and queens of music. From Smokey Robinson to Frank Sinatra to the Beatles even the late Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, it was all played in my household while growing up. My parents really had an ear for music so I appreciate them surrounding me with such great influences in music. How I ended up to where I am today is all thanks to true dedication, being as delusional as possible about creating my own sound and path.
I could write a book about my story so I’ll try to hit the highlights. I grew up in the church choir, eventually going to school choir through middle school all the way to college. In between those moments of choir there was the era of putting on shows with my friends for the local events while growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska. Talent shows, tons of open mic nights traveling to Texas and New York for shows and most recently securing my longest stage time performing at the great Plaza Live here in Orlando, Florida.
Honestly the main thing that got me to where I am today is truly believing in my ability to spread the message of a positive state of mind, turning whatever emotion you have into a strength and being your true self. It took a lot of failing to understand I was never failing, I was always learning how to be better than I was the day before.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve had a crazy path and I tend to use those moments as a launchpad for songs. For me growing up was touch. I was a military dependent so we traveled almost every 3 years. Just doing the regular things like making friends and having a group of people that could say “yeah I grew up with pazzo…” is still something I think about often. People assume that being a military dependent means you have it all but that’s not the case. Yes we were taken care of and yes I got to travel the world twice over and then some but I missed out on the typical childhood.
As an adult I struggled with just keep a job and when I could keep I job I would worry about having a home. I’ve been homeless to the point of couch surfing, sleeping in car I owned, even a brief moment where I didn’t own a car so I had to make due with what I could, a bench, a gym, a one night run down hotel. I’ve had moments where I felt like just giving up completely, not just in music but in life in general. It was a rough patch for me but eventually I found myself when I had lost it all.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My creative/artistic side of life is what I hold the most value in. It was one of the biggest reasons I’m here telling my story. I specialize in what I like to call “Feel Music”. I genre-bend, to those reading that basically means I don’t stand out in a single genre I like to blend a few together to create something that’s truly original and authentic. I’m known for my singing and having a profound feeling in the songs I write.
I’m most proud of my single Pink+Soul, I think after writing that song I was truly in my own lane of music, my own sound. I still get compared to artists like The Weeknd, lil Uzi, juicewrld, but I take that as the highest compliment because they are some of my favorite artists. I’m also most proud of being able to say I performed at the Plaza Live in Orlando, because I saw wale and audio push there in like 2015/2016 while they were on tour so it was a surreal moment for me.
I feel like I’m set apart because I don’t try to make hits, I just try to make you feel something with every song I release. I always say I have a flavor for everyone’s tastes and I truly believe that. I think I’m set apart because I don’t just make songs I make music. People gravitate to what they feel is familiar and I honestly believe everything I’ve released and will release can be relevant to just about anyone and everyone.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I can’t say I believe in good luck or bad luck because I haven’t experienced either. It’s kind of cliche to say but everything that’s happened to me has been through either hard work or lack of self worth. If I could say it was luck I’d honestly be lying to myself. Maybe right time right place or wrong time wrong place would be a better way to see it.
Hypothetically if luck played a part in my life and business it’s honestly because I’ve created it myself, good or bad it’s all because I thought of it long enough and I chased it long enough that it happened, again that’s for the good and bad. I remember hearing a quote “we all have two wolves inside of us, a good wolf and bad wolf, your outcome depends on which one you choose to feed” it could’ve been a different animal to be honest so don’t hold me to it. Point is life and business is exactly what you believe and make it. So make it worth your while and time while you walk this earth.
