voyagela.com – Daily Inspiration: Meet Panda$tackz

I wish I had some amazing fairytale type story to tell but, the reality is I’m a simple guy born in Riverside, CA. I was raised by two incredible parents who always hustled and did what they could to make me the best kind of man…I’m definitely a cut from a different cloth. My parents raised me with morals, respect, and a strong work ethic. After my dad’s passing, it became even more important to keep those values and live by them every day.

I got my start in music at an early age. I remember watching Mexican icons on TV such as Vicente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, and thinking to myself – “Man, I wonder how they remember all the lyrics to their songs?” I wanted to be able to move people the way their music moved me, and I wanted to experience the joy they showed while performing. Luckily, music came as second nature to me, which is funny because, in my family, I’m a first-generation musician, so I’ve had to teach myself everything I know. My dad’s passing has had a lot to do with where I am now. I never got the chance to show him what I can do. Now, I must use the inspiration he gave me to show the world what Panda$tackz is capable of giving through my music.

“These preconceived notions, as misguided as they are, illuminate the perceptions of average citizens regarding sexual harassment.”

sltrib.com – Scott D. Pierce: This Utahn on ‘To the Rescue’ is dogs’ best friend

Tommy Habeeb created and, for the first two seasons, hosted the ultimate guilty pleasure TV show: “Cheaters,” in which a cheating spouse or partner was trailed, pretty much caught in the act and then confronted on camera.
These days, Habeeb is producing and headlining a very different syndicated series. “To the Rescue” profiles rescue dogs and the people who rescue them — and he recently brought his crew to Utah for an upcoming episode.
“It’s time that I used my platform to do something good,” he said. “Out of the thousands of hours of broadcast television that I’ve been in, this is the best work and the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done.”
