exactly What IS Hip Today ! Emilio Castillo Emilio Castillo plays

Emilio was born in Detroit, Michigan on September 24, 1950 and is
of Mexican and Greek parentage. During his transition from Detroit
to Fremont, California, Emilio discovered his interest in music
stemming from the likes of Roger Collins, The Spyders, and Sly and
the Family Stone - masters of soul. In 1967, Emilio started his own
group called the Motowns which would became Tower of Power in 1968,
the same year that Emilio met the Funky Doctor (Stephen Kupka). He
is a self-proclaimed homebody and enjoys spending his time when not
touring with TOP with his wife Suzanne and children, Christian,
Isabella, Dominic, Ariana and Katina. He spends much of the time
with his family at their local church, and makes it a habit of
telling and showing them that he loves them every day. "I’ve
learned from experience that God has a plan for me, and that it’s
better than mine! I just try to remember that, no matter what comes
down the pike," he says.
