His father, Mexican music legend Chalino Sánchez, took traditional corridos - ballads played in accordion-based polka or waltz rhythms - and radically changed the culture by toughing them up: wearing the cocked Tejana (cowboy hat), “barking” out his songs, allowing his fans to get onstage with him and pose for pictures, and speaking Sinaloan slang. By the year 1989, Chalino dedicated his full time to writing, recording, and selling his corrido albums.“My dad started a way of dressing, a way of singing, a way of acting, a way of talking, everything,” says Adán Sánchez. A small group that is named “Los Cuatro de la Frontera” recommended Chalino to go to a recording studio in Olympic Blvd in Los Angeles with them. Chalino began to earn money through his songs and would be gifted with guns by his customers.

He began to compose songs for his fellow friends or anyone that had a story worth telling.

Chalino was the best singer and everyone listened to his music. Then in 1984, his brother passed away in Tijuana and later composed his first corrido. When they got married their first son, Adan Sanchez was on the way and was married until his death in 1992. In 1984, he married a woman named Marisela Vallejos and the way they met was because she was a friend of his cousin Rosalba. Then he later moved to Los Angeles, California with an aunt. During the time he was in Tijuana, he worked as a “pollero”, which is someone who helps people cross the border. Sanchez escaped to Tijuana, Mexico with nothing with him but his gun. Sanchez took the man’s life by shooting him, after that he had to leave the town located near Culiacan, Sinaloa. Sanchez later saw the man at a party and took revenge into his own hands. When he was 15 years old his sister was raped by a rich man who was known for being powerful and dangerous. He came from a poor family and lived a difficult life. He was a curious and mischievous kid that always dreamed of becoming a famous singer. He was the youngest of 7 children that Santos Sanchez and Senorina Felix created. Chalino Sanchez was born Rosalino Sanchez Felix in a small ranch known as “El Guyabo” located in the Mexican in the state of Sinaloa.
