On today's episode we have the multi-talented Ivan Castro. Ivan is a Producer, Engineer, Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, Music Educator and does so much more. He also owns and operates Ecuasound Studios, a private state of the art production/recording studio located in Hollywood, Ca.

We sit and chat as Ivan takes us on a ride all the way back to when he was a kid growing up in Ecuador and how he got inspired to do music, all the way up to today and some of the many obstacles he faced there and the challenges he overcame on his journey to the US.

We highlight a few of his achievements and chat about how he was able to tackle those obstacles by working hard, taking advantage of opportunities, keeping a positive attitude and practicing his craft consistently, having fun all along the way!

I met Ivan and his musical family back in 2016 when his Daughter Gabby joined Kids Rock Studio Rock For Charity Events at the historic Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip in WeHo, California. Gabby played in a violin trio that consisted of herself, another student Bella and violin teacher Sandra, who is Ivan's Wife. This trio rocked out with the house band playing AC/DC loud and proud in front of a standing room only packed crowd!

Listen to the entire episode and hear how this talented musical family support each other in the arts and more importantly, in life!
