“Growing up in Miami, I had all these great, strong influences. You know, being Cuban and the Latin influence, but also the strong hip-hop influence.”

“I just want people that like my music to like me.”

“I know that people everywhere listen to hip-hop, but especially being from the South, you really get that influence. You go out, you party, and it's just always there. Also, I grew up listening and loving reggae music, too.”

“I see myself traveling; I see myself with a much bigger living space than I do have right now. I see myself hopefully on a tour bus at some point.”

“I'd love to work with Michael Buble, with Tony Bennett, with Damian Marley, with Andrea Bocelli.”

“I'd want to collaborate with Eminem, of all people. Maybe even Lauryn Hill.”

“I'm from a Cuban family, so we're used to talking really loud. You come to a Cuban restaurant anywhere in Miami, and we're practically screaming at each other.”

“With relationships, I've been through a lot of different situations with different people, and I write about it.”
