We had the good fortune of connecting with paco jimenez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi paco, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Well, very simply, I like to be independent and not have to give explanations to anyone. Things like schedules, moving to other places are not for me.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
nothing differentiates me from others, I simply do things as I think are correct always with the experience I have over the years, I am proud to be able to continue doing what I like for 25 years and with the strength of the first day that is, already knowing what I am going to find every time I start something new. Professionally, I have gotten to where I am by working hard and never giving up. Challenges are overcome with work and discipline. There is no worse enemy than oneself, and I have learned that one has to be authentic and unique. Believing in yourself is the key. I make music and I’m a dj for people to enjoy my music is reality

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Rabatt in Morocco comes to mind, an impressive place in the middle of the desert and at the same time in the middle of an oasis, a mixture of ancient culture with that extremely delicious Moroccan food, getting lost in its bazaars full of colors and with a very hard I love it, highly recommended.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I grew up musically in the 80s, which I think is the most musically interesting decade of all time in terms of studio production, tools that were used and things like that, and as far as human quality is concerned, U2 is the group that broke my head at all levels, but the figure of my father is also very important since he brought home all those vinyls that then a few years later he took me to the clubs where I started to be a DJ back in 87
