CURRENT MISSION

I am working hard to cultivate my deep roots in the major media markets of NYC, LA, and DFW. My tour schedule is back on track now. . . I am currently in DFW until October 16, 2023, when I return to NYC until the week before Thanksgiving. I then fly to DTLA for the winter (Until Valentine's Day) before touring back to NYC through DFW (I am in Texas for most of March).

The cities I am focused on and seeking angel investors and patrons of the arts to produce rhythm sections and film in are:

Atlanta;
D.C.;
Boston;
Chicago;
Denver,
Vegas;
and Nashville.

ABOUT ME

I am originally a classical and Latin music performing artist. My name is Juan Pablo Chavez. In 2010 I produced a 4-piece rock band called JOHNNY ARCO that I was the frontman for. I played violin 🎻 while singing original pop-rock tunes with that awesome group. The music is on ReverbNation and Pandora if you would like to hear our EP. I am also a trained dancer (Salsa, Ballet, Modern), actor, and educator (Dance, Music, and Religious education).

I went to the performing arts middle and high school in Dallas, TX, and then Berklee College of Music where I studied for five years before being asked to lecture Essentials of Success there. I hold certifications from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in Music Industry Essentials, and the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. . . which connects me to some pretty cool people in the arts world 🌎.

I am currently working on building my publishing company, Bflat+ Media Publishing, and I have my work cut out for me. . . Copyright ©️ hustle in the independent streaming free music wild is tough, but I am confident I will build a strong crew/company of people who love intellectual property practice.

I have a massive social media structure and promote art on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and Facebook using numerous companies and pseudonyms that I created and own. It's getting so big that I could use some savvy young crypto-decentralized folk to lend a helping hand.

I'm getting into Business, and I just finished two years at Capella University's sister school Sofia Learning. . . where I got a full ride. I've been practicing trading stock on Cash App and crypto on Coinbase. I've minted a couple of NFTs and would like to work on this with some people.

I am a civil rights litigator pro se, in forma pauperis, pro bono publico. I love helping the poor, homeless, and disabled receive justice through intense, active social work.

I work my butt off and I need cool new friends like you to support my music and arts and share in the royalty income and publishing stream.

I can't wait to hear about what you do and how I can assist you in making your dreams a reality also.
