Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.
I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.
I always used to sing in the shower, but I never really got into the music until a friend of mine helped me a lot with recording.
There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.
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.
