EP 79: From Homeless to the Latin Grammys ft. Award Winning Producer Maffio

👉🏼 Free Workbook: Top Hacks for Entrepreneurs: https://www.victoriajenn.com/freeworkbook2025

This week host Victoria Jenn sits down with the legendary Maffio – 3x Latin Grammy winner, Grammy nominee, and pioneer of merengue electronico. From hustling in New York, living out of his car in Miami, to becoming one of the most respected producers in Latin music, Mafio’s story is all about believing in your purpose, embracing your culture, and setting a new standard for the next generation.

Get the inside scoop you won’t find on Google: his humble beginnings, dropping out of high school (then getting his diploma years later!), championing up-and-coming artists, navigating the music industry without controversy, and why respect is the umbrella that covers all.

Mafio opens up about being a Latino dad to biracial daughters, how family and cultura drive his work, and his creative process—including insights on his latest album "Rey de la Discoteca." Plus, tips for aspiring artists on how to break into the industry the right way.
