I don't want to make music only for Latinos. The idea is always to make a global sound.
Quote by -J Balvin
Reggaeton is what opened the doors for me, and I'm always grateful for that. I'll do reggaeton for life, but I want to show that I'm an artist who can do everything.
Quote by -J Balvin
Part of what we did is change that misconception that reggaeton is machista and misogynist. On the contrary, women are our biggest fans, and they inspire us.
Quote by -J Balvin
I'm still in love with New York. It's like a dream: there's so much to do, so much culture.
Quote by -J Balvin
I want to take it really far in Spanish; even non-Spanish speakers listen to my music across the world. Even though they don't know what I'm saying, they really feel it. We want to take it to another level and keep building our name. We want to take it really far just in Spanish.
Quote by -J Balvin
Basically, I just want to talk about love and how it can overcome boundaries. I want to discuss those more universal beliefs, not more politicized ideas.
Quote by -J Balvin
I pay a lot of attention to the people I let surround me. I learn something from those people and from everyone - from other musicians, from people on the street.
Quote by -J Balvin
I don't know. I respect Kanye, but when it comes to Trump, I'm not into that, man.
Quote by -J Balvin
To tell you the truth, I used an Instagram filter called Ginza to share a snippet of the song - I simply left the name in the caption in case anyone wanted to use the same filter. But everyone started calling the song 'Ginza.'
Quote by -J Balvin
Thanks to social media, we've also been able to show ourselves as we are. In the end, masks are useless. You have to be real.
Quote by -J Balvin
I don't have to work with superstars - I want to work with cool artists that make super music.
Quote by -J Balvin
The important thing is that I'm clear about the love and respect that I got for Rihanna.
Quote by -J Balvin
When you see a movie, they always put the Latino on the bad side or in a tacky way. It's not like that. Latinos are shining like a diamond.
Quote by -J Balvin
I want to invite the mainstream into my world and to my sound and to what I'm doing. And I want mainstream artists to respect me and accept Latino artists as equals without us having to sing in English. I want them to know that I can compete globally, with whomever, in Spanish.
Quote by -J Balvin
'Donde Estaras,' it is like a classic reggaeton, and we just added some Southern spice to bring it to 2018. But I wanted to go back to the roots of reggaeton, that type of reggaeton that makes you just feel good. You don't know what we are saying but that OK because 'Donde Estas' is where are you at but 'Donde Estaras' is where are you going to be.
Quote by -J Balvin
I'd love to work with people like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.
Quote by -J Balvin
In 2017, it's discouraging that it seems like we're going backward. And that's not just because of Trump; that's because we, as humans, condone discrimination; it's a human issue. It's part of something bigger.
Quote by -J Balvin
When I was, like, 12, I remember grabbing a mic, pretending it was a guitar, and performing in front of my friends. I didn't know at the time I wanted to be an artist.
Quote by -J Balvin
We are proving that Latinos have the power to connect with an audience on a global level without having to leave our identity behind.
Quote by -J Balvin
Every performance has provided a learning experience, and as we go, we keep fine-tuning the shows. If we decide to do a tour, we rehearse until we perfect. One thing that I do prior to every show is that we huddle the band and pray. We thank more than we ask.

I want mainstream artists to accept Latino artists as equals without us having to sing in English.
Quote by -J Balvin
Let's be honest, 'Ginza' doesn't really have lyrics to speak of. It's a party track - a party for reggaetoneros to come out of the closet.
Quote by -J Balvin
I love Bad Bunny. He's changing the game. I think he's doing something very important with his success.
