Can you tell us more about you as an artist?
I am before and after all a dancer. I was always dancing when I was very young and have been a Latino music aficionado for many years The first thing I have in mind, as an artist and when creating a new song is to focus on how the rhythm and vibe will make you feel when listening or dancing on the song. Those are the most important aspects of my creativity. It makes you happy and feel like wanting to dance.
How do you balance creativity and commercial success in your music career?
It's very important for me to separate the creative and business spaces, seeking for assistance and collaborating with others when needed. It's very important for me to keep a good balance on both sides of things without burning myself out, continuously learning while staying true to my artistic vision.
