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 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.
I just want to bring the people good music.
At 17, I was working at Sprint in the Bronx so I could make money to fund my own music.
I spoke English at school and Spanish at home, and I'm always eating Dominican food, listening to Dominican music.
I was a teenager doing teenager things, and now I have the honor of being on tour with musical giants Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. I'm doing my music and performing in my own concerts! It just goes to show that anything is possible with hard work.
My ultimate goal in life, with my music, is to make a movement.
Media always comments if I wear the same thing twice.
My friends and I were the class clowns in high school, so one day we were showing off at our seats, and I fell off my chair! I had to get stitches, and I had a bloody lip. I was trying so hard to be a cool class clown!
I would definitely love to work with somebody like Jay Z or Rihanna.
I grew up in The Bronx. I mean, I was born and raised in New York City. And I started singing in Spanish because I was always just connected to my Latin roots.
My dream girl... well, I love eyes. And lips. She has to have nice lips!
When I hear the songs 'Dangerous' or 'End of My World', I go, 'Wow, I didn't even know I could go that low!' And when I played them for my family, they said, 'That doesn't even sound like you.'
