CD Baby’s Chris Robley explores what musicians can learn from the breakout success of Mexican artist Peso Pluma.

*by *[CHRIS ROBLEY](https://diymusician.cdbaby.com/author/chris-r-at-cd-baby/?ref=hypebot.com)* from[ CD Baby’s DIY Musician](https://diymusician.cdbaby.com/music-career/peso-pluma/?ref=hypebot.com)* \[Video Below\]

In the music and career of Mexican artist [Peso Pluma](https://www.instagram.com/pesopluma/?ref=hypebot.com), “old & new walk hand-in-hand.”

That’s how Erika Parr (CD Baby’s International Content Marketing Manager) describes it in the *THE WORLD,* an ongoing segment from our podcast that brings lessons from non-English-language music scenes to the DIY Musician community.

Peso seemingly came out of nowhere. **One day he’s working at a restaurant, the next he’s conquered global music charts,** late night TV, and Coachella!

But like most “overnight” success stories, there are **years of work behind the scenes**, dialing in a unique sound, smart branding, building the right team, and much more.

### Check out the video above to hear how Peso Pluma:

- Blended the familiar styles of home (in the form regional Mexican music influences) with a modern, joyous, urban, social-media sensibility
- Built a team around his music that propelled him towards success
- Stayed true to himself while reaching a global audience of millions

Peso continues the trend of non-English-language musicians dominating the charts, and we’re going to hear many more of these stories in the coming years. Stay tuned!
