✨ Jodi Pluto ✨
BIO:
I go by JODI PLUTO from Chicago and I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’m a rapper, writer, manager, and consultant in the music industry. I also own and operate a trucking company and also do graphic design and the president of THE FURTHER FOUNDATION which is a non-profit. But music is my passion no matter what I’m always looking for new ways to present music as far as writing kids music and selling music as a NFT.
Interview Series
1. If you could live out your WILDEST dream with no fear of failure, what would you be doing?
I really don’t have a fear of failure but as far as living out my wildest dreams I would be the go to song writer for tv shows and movies and other singers/rappers. Traveling across the planet trying the finest cuisine with my wife and 2 daughters just enjoying every second of this short life.
2. What is the most memorable, funniest, or craziest thing that has happened to you on your entertainment journey?
The hands down wildest moment happened at my first show in another state that was like a contest. At the time I was in a different financial situation where the money wasn’t rolling in like that just yet, so we were only supposed to be there for 2 days and they would announce the winner of the showcase. So I ended up being one of the finalists, but I didn’t know they needed us to stay an extra day to perform again. Luckily we were able to change the flight and book a room at a motel so I could perform a second night and leave early the next morning, so I did the show that night but the winner wasn’t announced until the next day (or so we were told), so we went back to our room kinda upset about not knowing the results. We stayed up and drank and talked about everything, woke up the next morning late, missed our flight and had to spend 12 hrs in the airport hoping to get on another flight… which cost an additional $400 just to find out I didn’t win. Stressful situation.
3. Congratulations! You just hit the lottery for 100 million dollars! What do you spend it on?
100 million gotta make sure I secure the bag so definitely doing some investment moves with property- buy a couple more trucks and a house that’s so nice we really don’t have to leave. Then I would invest in my community I grew up in just to show people care . Then just travel, eat, and drink good.
4. Do you have any hidden talents or party tricks?
I can juggle. I learned watching zoom years ago and never forgot.
5. What advice would you give to your younger self?
I’ll have to tell myself to believe in myself more I missed out on a lot of opportunities because of my lack of confidence at the time.
6. Who, in the entertainment industry, do you love that you think more people should know about? Why? Shout them out and spread the love!
Honestly everybody knows lil Wayne but I spent a lot of time listening and to the music and the interviews he had a quote I believe he said on 106&park “If you don’t feel you the best at what you doing, why do it?” And those words stuck and help me push through situations I thought I wasn’t strong enough
