The Santa Rosa California FFA member was selected as the winner of the National FFA Talent Show.
Soto learned mariachi from his family at a very age, and currently plays in the family mariachi band. Adrian said he was not only representing his home chapter and California, but also his Mexican Heritage.
Adrian Soto was able to combine his passion for FFA and mariachi music in front of thousands of fellow FFA members. He was sporting a national blue mariachi outfit emblazoned with FFA emblems that he ordered the day he won the California FFA talent contest. ” The day I was announced the winner in California, I ordered a personalized mariachi outfit, knowing even if I didn’t win, I would be representing California and Mexico.”
Adrian shares more of his story with Broadcast Desk Intern John Ching.
