Emilio "Mimi" Castillo (born Sep 24 1950, Detroit, Michigan) is an American saxophone player and composer, best known as the founder of the band Tower of Power. Emilio Castillo took to music after being caught stealing by his father who told him he could stay in his room until he thought of something to 'Keep him off the street'. Castillo chose music. He took lessons in saxophone, piano, and guitar, and also took tuition in music theory from one time Dave Brubeck bass player Norman Bates. <a h
