Pachy Lopez Explained

Reinaldo Ricardo Lopez Cabello, known as Pachy Lopez (August 11, 1968), is a Cuban musician and songwriter.

Early life

Reinaldo Ricardo Lopez Cabello was born in Havana, Cuba, on August 11, 1968. He is the son of Reinaldo Lopez, a percussionist, and Norma A. Cabello, a club singer in the Havana highlife club scene of the 60s and 70s. At the age of eight, he began his musical studies, choosing the guitar as his favorite instrument.

Aged 14, influenced by family tradition, his aunts and cousins introduced him to the world of theater. He later became an actor/writer, winning awards as the youngest writer of the industry. These awards set him up to travel to the National Theater of Panama in 1988 for a presentation, where he defected the Cuban regime. Lopez arrived in Miami, Florida in 1990, and still lives there with his family.

Career

In the early 1990s, Lopez worked as a freelance songwriter. His first radio hit "Romanticos al Rescate", was sung by Luis Enrique, and other hits such as "Amor de Novela", "El Rey Del Mundo", "Estas Hecha Para Mi", "Si Quieres Amar" and "Nada es Igual Sin Ti" were created during his relationship with Sony, which still owns part of his catalog.

In 1997, he graduated from F.I.U. with a Bachelor of Science in Communication, and continued his writing career by founding Artistik Connection Music Publishing. The company later signed a co-publishing agreement with PEER MUSIC PUBLISHING. During his contractual relationship with PEER, he developed a catalog of 184 songs, and published several songs recorded by artists including Rey Ruiz, Víctor Manuelle, Alejandra Guzmán, Yuri, Jaime Camil, and Willy Chirino.

In 2003 he retired from his music writing career and founded Red Door Productions, Inc, an event production and marketing firm servicing the entertainment and event industry in the South Florida area.

Lopez was also a photographer, and in 2007 he was awarded by the International Library of Photography. His images have been used in the entertainment industry for advertising campaigns, concert promotions, TV ads, billboards, internet campaigns and three published books by the International Library of Photography.
