1. How does it feel to be defined as the new multicultural era of music?
I feel happy to be in such a unique position with really no limits on what direction
I can take my sound. I love the idea of combining my love for dance with Latin
pop music and always changing the beats along the way.
2. In your opinion, is there an advantage of having Puerto Rican and
Dominican roots to merge your music style?
I feel like I am at an advantage because both cultures are so diverse in the styles
and sounds that come from each of the respective islands. Because there have
been so many other artists that have come from PR and DR, it is easy to learn
from them and connect to their sounds as well. Since I was young, listening to
Puerto Rican artists and music really influenced what I liked and enjoyed hearing.
3. In your opinion, has the pandemic changed the music industry?
I think the music industry changed in so many ways after the pandemic – good
and bad. It gave artists the opportunity to get back to recording, creating new
music, and even finding new inspiration in the time off to reinvent their sounds. It
also allowed fans and listeners to appreciate streaming platforms and music
outlets differently. Artists were forced to learn the importance of proper music
distribution and capitalizing on monetary returns from channels they may have
not focused on before.
However, on that same note, the pandemic changed the music industry so much
with the halt it put on live performances. So many artists, like myself, are inspired
by fans and show interactions. Not being able to tour or perform in public settings
could have really created a distance between the artists and fans.
Needless to say, I’m happy that everything is slowly getting back to normal and
live shows are back in action.
4. Has the pandemic drawn you closer to your family and fans?
Yes, it definitely did. I had a chance to connect with people I normally would not
have and reminded me what was truly important.
5. How does it feel to be named from Billboard as one of the top 5 new artist
to look out for?
I was so honored to be recognized by such a huge platform and publication. I
hope that I am able to really influence the future of music and dance and pave a
way for my sound.
6. What was the most memorable moments performing alongside Ricky
Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Gente de Zona, Maluma, and Ozuna at the 2018
Calibash in Las Vegas, Nevada at T-Mobile Arena.
The overall experience of getting to perform in Las Vegas, one of the biggest
entertainment cities in the world, was unbelievable. I felt like I belonged on stage
to entertain the fans and was so happy to do it alongside the pioneers who have
really led the way for me.
7. What was your experience when you were featured in Dutch mega movie
“Onze Jongens in Miami” as the villain Pablo Ramirez.?
It was such a different experience for me altogether. I really loved tapping into the
acting side of my artistry. Having to play a character that isn’t my usual
personality was a challenge. I also had to get in the best psychical shape to be in
the role and it really pushed me to be dedicated and focused to the task. Overall,
I really enjoyed it and hope to be in another movie again!
8. Since the venues are back opened again and safe to perform, what are
some of your plans?
As I start to release my new music, I really hope to perform in cities I have never
been. I’m hoping to tour, and book shows in as many places and at as many
festivals as I can.
9. Since the pandemic has happened, do you have any new inspirations for
your music?
I took the time to really explore a new sound and create a modern edge for my
music which is what the fans will be hearing with my new releases. I played
around with different beats, explored new styles of music from different parts of
the world, and worked with different producers to really create a new vibe.
10.What something you would like to say to your fans?
Chase your dreams and don’t let anyone stop you.
