I listen to a lot of crazy stuff like pop, techno, rock, hip-hop, rap, baladas, bachata...my iPod is crazy. I like listening to a lot of stuff in different languages, so my music is always out there for me.
I hope to touch many Hearts through my music
Everything in life is a risk! I mean, you walk out onto the street and it's a risk! Don't you think?
My ultimate goal in life, with my music, is to make a movement.
There are a lot of things going on that's causing a lot of these young kids to head in the wrong direction. I know a lot of kids that are cutting school. I try to give out a positive message, trying to get kids focused. If they don't then they're going to end up like every other hoodlum in the street.
Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.
I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.
Fans have been very important in my career. Even though I'm just doing me and doing my thing, they're the captains of this ship.
For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I've done it once, and I'm still in the army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again.
Conversations with my mother, father, my grandparents, as I've grown up have obviously driven me towards wanting to try and make a difference as much as possible.
You can imagine the kind of dinner parties I had to go to at a young age... pretty dull.
To be honest dinner conversations was the worst bit about being a child and listening to the boring people around me.
I don't know how well this would get on, but I'd probably live in Africa...as a job, it would probably be a safari guide.
It's very nice to be a sort of normal person for once; I think it's about as normal as I'm going to get.
