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.

For 10 years, I was my own label, my own promoter, my own PR. We borrowed money to print our CDs.

I don't pretend to be anybody else but me.

I obviously work really hard. But I also have the capacity to dream really big and have the discipline to materialize those dreams.

I respect the ones who make it and leave their home base, but I'm good in Colombia.

In life, you always have to keep fighting. It's not easy.

Even though you don't understand what I'm saying, you are going to really feel it. The same thing happened to me when I used to listen to English music. I didn't even understand one word. You know? But it just makes me feel great.

I believe that we are a result of our past.

When you maintain a closeness with your fans, they are more forgiving when you make mistakes.

The only way I'm not going to follow other people in reggaeton is if I listen to other things. I get other melodies or sounds and put them in reggaeton and make it different.

I'm gonna be real everywhere I go, but I'm with my people, I'm connected to my roots - I'm in my country! I don't need to live somewhere else.

Mike Amiri is like my brother.

Politics doesn't interest me in the least.

Winning a Grammy is always going to be good.

If you really want to flex, you have to be real.

I think it's important to show people, especially young people, that it's okay to have a personality. And that they can express themselves however they like.

You can have the power of your music on your cellphone and reach millions.

Pitbull has always been great - he represents Latinos.

I just work with people that I love and respect, that inspire me to be a better person, a better artist.

I'd want to start being a creative director of a specific line, like Adidas, for example. If they called me up to collaborate on something, I would do it.

Camila Cabello, she's great.

Behind every big artist, there's a big team.

Who would have thought that somebody Latino was going to be singing with Beyonce at Coachella? Years ago? Nobody. But I did believe in me. So, that's what I want to do: keep inspiring people as much as possible.

I love Bad Bunny. He's changing the game. I think he's doing something very important with his success.

The more I get to know more artists, the more they inspire me.

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.

I want mainstream artists to accept Latino artists as equals without us having to sing in English.

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 don't plan anything - I just let myself go with the flow.
