4 Diversity Rules Magazine April 2016 Dominic Pacif- ico is more than just a pretty face and body. e adult film star is an in-de- mand spinner. His DJ name? DJ Pornstar, of course. And now, with the re- lease of his first original dance track, he's a record pro- ducer, too, under a new name: PACIFICO. "Whether I'm Dominic Pacifico, DJ Pornstar, or now, PACIFICO, my artistry stems from a love of play," he says. "I live to play and I will play for life." MD: Why so many names? DP: (Laughing) Good Question! Dominic Pacifico came first but when I started spinning, friends called me DJ Pornstar. It was a meant as a joke but, some- how, the name stuck. MD: Has your work in porn made it harder to be taken seriously in music? DP: Yes, a lot of promoters refuse to work with me because they don't believe that I'm a professional DJ. ey think it's all just some big gimmick. MD: Tell us about your new single, "Earth From Here." DP: It's is a collaboration with Jeb Havens. It has a Calvin Harris style to it. MD: Who is Jeb Havens? DP: He is a songwriter and vocalist that I've known for about eight years. I came to Jeb on this project because I wanted a fun pop vibe to go with the beats. I love his sound. He has a sexy country twang to his voice. MD: Is this your first track with Pump Records? DP: It's my second track with Pump. Once they heard what I could do, they offered me a contract. MD: Does this mean you're leaving film? DP: No. I'm actually in the process of launching my own adult studio at DominicPacifico.com. I just signed Casey Everett as an exclusive! MD: How did that happen? DP: I met Casey when I was on tour in California. I thought he was the most adorable boy: so sweet, sexy and charming. I would say he's more than a friend but I can't really define the relationship. He calls me "Dad- dy." I call him "son."
