Pepe Aguilar didn't like how the music business was stacked against artists in the 1980s, so he took matters into his own hands.
Early in his career, the singer realized the status quo for contracts wasn't in favor of artists -- so he took matters into his own hands.for many Hispanic families in the U.S. who know his music by heart -- but it's his business savvy that really makes him stand out from his peers., the Mexican singer has sold millions of records around the world. But what many may not know is that he launched his own record label,Aguilar has always been surrounded by music.
He noticed that benefits weren’t balanced and fair, and he thought that the artists were being abused. How Patty Rodriguez, co-founder of Lil' Libros bilingual children's books, started her business while working as a radio producer Aguilar considers his contracts unique and the best in the industry because they are made for artists. “I wouldn't like them to suffer the same, whether they're my kids or not.”
As he sees a change in the video trends, he is working on something different, “more like a never ending documentary.” In spite of all the change in how people listen to his music, he said that live shows are still his main source of income.He has had greenhouses, sports teams, and in 2009, he even launched his own footwear line “Pepe Aguilar,” which, he admitted, was not successful.
