Johnny Chingas

Raul Garza better known as Johnny Chingas, there isn’t much information on him in the internet other an excerpt from a Don Snowden story that was published in the Los Angeles Times on 3/1/1985:

Nobody needs to tell Jonny Chingas about the difficulties of the do-it-yourself approach to pop music. The singer/saxophonist/keyboardist, who brings his eight-piece band to the Lingerie tonight, has been acting as a one-man record company during his seven-year campaign to break into the pop mainstream.

“I’m trying to follow the American dream,” he said in his San Fernando Valley home. “I’m not going crooked. I’m not into drugs or cheating anybody. I’m struggling and I don’t have enough capital to work with, but I’m still going forward.

“I’m just trying to make it and if nobody can help me, I have the determination to do it myself. I don’t care if I have to press the records myself or sell them at the swap meets.”
