I don't want to tell people what to think.

Media, politics, women, family, friends, good relationships, bad relationships, all inspire me.

No, I don't spend a lot of time in the studio, man. I truly don't. I'll be in there when I have to. I hate the containment, I can't stand the schedule crap.

For me, I grew up on old-school rock 'n' roll.

My mother raised me right - everything from Fleetwood Mac and the Doors to Pink Floyd and so on and so forth.

We've got the most loyal fans on earth and probably the most craziest fans I've seen since the Pantera days.

When you hit the Midwest... it's just some passion - I don't know if it's in the water or what it is - but it's just embedded in these kids.

We love metal.

My job consists of getting on stage and tearing my chest open and letting people into parts of my life that I would prefer to keep to myself. But I also think that's what connects me with a lot of our fans.

There are things that certain people aren't supposed to talk about and they're supposed to keep sheltered and go to psychologists and they try to figure them out on their own. But at the end of the day, we're all human.

Music for me was always life changing. So if I'm putting out crap music, then I have not done what I came to accomplish.

Everybody has to evolve.

There were patterns in my family that had to be broken, and I refused to live my life the way certain members of my family had.

We absolutely thrive on the live setting. Even when we're in the studio, we make sure the songs we create are something we can do live passionately.

Rob Halford is the person that I called a lot of the time when I was in recovery.

I was a huge David Robinson fan.

I was raised in Denver with the Nuggets.

I'm the biggest NBA fan you will meet in your life.

Glasses, earrings, rings, sneakers. I love every little accessory.

I have always been a big fan of watches.

It's all about the vibes. That's why it's called 'Vibras' in Spanish.

As long as I keep it real, I learn something from everyone. And when you view yourself as a student and not as somebody who's bigger, there is still learning that can be done every day, and that keeps you open-minded and more ready to learn about life and love.

I enjoy everything I do, from music to fashion or to watches - the lifestyle.

When I would go to the barrio, people saw me as a rich person, but when I'm around rich people, they see me as someone from the ghetto. It's all perceptions. I like moving between worlds. I feel equally comfortable in both.

I want to inspire people to follow their own dream, not what the world wants for them.

My medium is music, but my goal is to motivate people to dream.

I'm no savior, and I'm no Robin Hood.

I'm just a regular guy trying to make my dream come true like everybody else.

I like track suits and sometimes to be suited up. I like to be like a chameleon.

Watches are about status.

As Latinos, we are many, and our geography is gigantic.

By erasing barriers of races, colors, continents, genres, or languages, we can achieve the whole world moving their head to the same beat.

I don't want to be a follower; I want to be a leader and create new waves.

'Mi Gente' is a song that embodies a special moment in music - a new sound of a Latino culture on the rise and being embraced globally.

I moved to Oklahoma to learn English when I was 16 years old from Colombia for six months; then I moved to New York.

I've always loved music since I was a little kid.

Dreams are the ones that really keep me moving all the time. That's what drives me.

I invite you to get out of the box, be yourself. If you have blue hair, pink, yellow; if you have a broken tooth; if you have other sexual preferences... be yourself. Fight for your happiness always.

Just because you are Latino does not mean you can't be global.

I'm honored and thankful to be partnering with the prestigious CFDA as one of the men's wear ambassadors for fashion week. My interest in fashion is only matched by my love for music, and I'm blessed to be given an opportunity to learn about some of my favorite designers from a firsthand look at their latest collections.

Music goes further than any border, any language.

We are making music for the human race, and even beings from other galaxies are welcome to vibe with us.

Colombian culture has a lot of music - it's in our blood; it's in our DNA.

I see myself like what Drake did in the game. I came with melodies and different lyrics, from a different place - reggaeton is from Puerto Rico; Drake is from Canada.

Kanye and Pharrell are in fashion. Why not J Balvin?

I want to change the perception about Latinos worldwide. I think people don't know yet how cool we are.

We want to change to point of view about Latinos in the world and Colombians. Forget about the bad past.

Music is art, and making watches is art, too.

I like to change and switch it up. I don't want to sound like anybody else or sound the same. I always have to reinvent myself.

Mexico is a Latin powerhouse. And Mexicans, they're known as hard workers. Here in the U.S., not everybody wants to do those kinds of jobs. I've lived. I know what it feels like and what they go through and how families suffer.
