I'm so grateful to Spotify for the enormous support to the reggaeton movement.

I'm not a big fan of fame; I'm a big fan of success.

We are proving that Latinos have the power to connect with an audience on a global level without having to leave our identity behind.

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.

I want to make music for everybody.

Steve Aoki is somebody I really love, and he did a remix of 'Mi Gente,' too.

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.

I love Rihanna, but I'm not gonna marry Rihanna.

I'd love to work with people like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.

'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.

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.

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.

We proved to the world that a completely Spanish song can take over the world.

There's always going to be somebody that don't like you. It's life.

To be a legend, we have to make a lot of right moves and great music.

The important thing is that I'm clear about the love and respect that I got for Rihanna.

To me, family is first.

I don't have to work with superstars - I want to work with cool artists that make super music.

Since I was a kid, I was listening to hip-hop.

I'm from Colombia, and we've been through a lot of hard situations.

I just want people to respect what I do.

I like to make super music instead of working with superstars.

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.

A watch shows how you want to look - or how you want people to look at you.

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.'

I am a YouTube artist.

I love the vibe of Las Vegas.

I think music is to have fun. It's for people to have a good time with.

I don't know. I respect Kanye, but when it comes to Trump, I'm not into that, man.

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.

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.

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.

It's always been my dream to be among the big names of Colombia.

There are so many artists that have inspired me.

I'm still in love with New York. It's like a dream: there's so much to do, so much culture.

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.

I think the universe works perfectly.

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.

I don't want to make music only for Latinos. The idea is always to make a global sound.

Music is one way of expressing yourself, and fashion is another.

There's a truth about public service that is often unspoken and rarely understood - that the role of our elected officials is about much more than balancing budgets and ensuring the delivery of essential services.

I focus on supporting high quality early childhood health care and education. By betting my resources on very young children, I know I'm making an investment that pays guaranteed dividends with a high rate of return.

Women should not be forced to accept sexual harassment as the price of admission to a life and career in the political world. They should not have to endure unwanted touching, innuendo, and propositioning from men in positions of power.

I am so proud to have the endorsement of a distinguished leader like Glenn Poshard.

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center serves as a poignant reminder of our past and a trusted source of education for schoolchildren, community members, and visitors from across the country.

In my day job, I worry non-stop about making wise investments for long-term gains.

We like to invest in market leaders.

The more activity around Chicago-based companies, and the more success that entrepreneurs have in Chicago, the better we as venture capitalists in Chicago will do.

Leadership means setting a moral tone.

Studies have proven that early childhood education returns to society as much as $12 for every dollar invested. Our goal is to identify the most important development opportunities for children five years and younger, providing insight to transform early childhood education from a social policy issue into an economic imperative.
