Pinto (17) makes original music compositions which he performs and uploads to video sharing website, Youtube.
He had the privilege of meeting prolific actors, Al Pacino and Sylvester Stallone at the MegaPartnering9 conference held in Los Angeles in October 2014 by wealth coach, JT Foxx. This experience made him realise it is not where you come from that is important, but rather what you do with what you have. Pinto believes it is “jumping out the plane” and taking every opportunity presented to you which paves the way to becoming successful. While in LA he also spent time backstage with up-and-coming hip-hop artist Tony Luu, who is managed by Reggie Batts. Batts is an inspiring entrepreneur and world-renowned coach, having worked with life coach, Tony Robbins for 12 years. He is coaching Pinto on his music as well as his branding. Pinto said being able to interact with a like-minded individual has fuelled his passion for music and performance.
In addition to his music, Pinto has a talent for art and has created some notable pieces. His artistic flair complements his musical creativity and provides a further avenue for creative self-expression.
As Pinto enters his final year at school, he is looking firmly at the years ahead and is planning to study marketing. Through attending numerous business and marketing events, he has discovered that he has a strong interest and aptitude for marketing, and sees this as a fundamental skill for expanding his aspirations as a singer, songwriter and entrepreneur.
