Isidro Chávez Espinoza (Angostura, Sinaloa, Mexico, October 29, 1981) and best known as Espinoza Paz, is a Mexican musician and composer of Mexican Regional music. He is now a banda and norteña music composer in Mexico.
Early career
At about 13 years old he wrote his first song, when he fell in love with a classmate from his school. At 14 years old he had already written about 20 songs. Espinoza Paz immigrated to the city of Dixon, California where he continued to develop his love for music while working from cleaning up pinch orange tomatoes, olives and grapes, hard work for a young boy his age, but who without any doubt shaped the character and the talent of this young songwriter. It was when he returned to Mexico, after this stage, when he gets bad news, the death of his mother, Maria de la Paz Espinoza, who was the one who inspired him to follow his dream, which was to sing. Espinoza Paz dedicated 8 years to knock on doors, singing in regional bands, looking for opportunities," while never leaving out his feelings and experiences in his songs. His muse :Blanca Estrella a girl he only saw a few times ,in interviews he says "el amor que no fue" . However, the start of his prime as a composer was about to happen when displaying their songs to "El Coyote", he recorded several compositions that became radio hits such as "Besitos en el cuello", "Prohibido" and "Para impresionarte," (in 2005-2006) which showed his talent and putting the name of Espinoza Paz in the interest of many other artists and groups of Mexican regional music.[1]
Soon Paz was penning songs for a long list of regional Regional artists, including Sergio Vega, La Arrolladora Banda el Limón, Banda Cuisillos, Julio Chaidez, Banda de Jerez, Jenni Rivera, Chuy Lizarraga, Adair Elizalde, El Potro de Sinaloa, El Chapo de Sinaloa, and Duelo, among numerous others. That same year Paz embarked on a recording career of his own, releasing his full-length solo album debut, Paz en Tu Corazón, in association with Nueva Generacion Music Group. Another independently released album, Amigo con Derechos (2008), followed before Paz was offered a recording contract with the major label Universal Latino, which released the album El Canta Autor del Pueblo (2008) on its Machete Music subsidiary. Featuring previously released favorites such as "El Celular" and "Amigo con Derechos," El Canta Autor del Pueblo spawned the hit single "El Proximo Viernes," which broke into the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart. Later in 2008 the album Mis Exitos con Tololoche was released by Disa. His last name is Chavez his mother's last name was Espinoza (Maria de la Paz Espinoza) Therefore his name of Isidro Chavez Espinoza is the correct and usual manner to write a name - First , Middle(s) Father's Last Name and Mother's Last name.
Isidro's Banda name was created using his own last name (Espinoza) and his mothers first name (Paz). He created the name out of dedication to his mother, who had always worked hard. His family was very poor, and Isidro had always wanted to give his mother everything. So by the time his mother died, he had already gained fame and fortune. His father, on the other hand, has refused to accept any money.[citation needed]
