Chingo Bling was born Pedro Herrera III in Houston to Mexican American immigrants who came to the United States with dreams of achieving the American dream for themselves and their children. His father set the example by working several jobs to ensure that his family had all they needed. Upon graduation from high school, Chingo enrolled in Trinity University in San Antonio, majoring in business administration and marketing. It was there at a fraternity party that Chingo made his first foray into the music business as a DJ. Today Chingo Bling is a well-known underground rapper and producer.  As one of Texas’s premier underground rappers/entrepreneurs, Chingo Bling has achieved a level of independent success that only a few in his generation have accomplished.
