At 17, I was working at Sprint in the Bronx so I could make money to fund my own music.
I just want to bring the people good music.
I sang in English my whole life; I just happened to decide that I had a passion for Latin music, and I wanted to jump into Latin music first.
My intent is never to leave Latin music. I definitely still want to release bachata albums.
I grew up listening to a lot of Usher at 13 and 14. I have every Usher album that ever existed. So I grew up listening to a lot of Usher, Michael Jackson, Luis Miguel, a lot of pioneers in Latin music.
I spoke English at school and Spanish at home, and I'm always eating Dominican food, listening to Dominican music.
