People said my records were 'funky' and 'muddy,' but the truth is they were just demos.

I love the rabbits and the squirrels and the birds.

You don't really need a lot of hype and to be famous to sell songs.

When Eric Clapton cut 'After Midnight,' he sold so many records and it was so big at the time, I decided that I would pursue the songwriting thing. I was 34 years old at that time. I'd been down the pike and back before I had any success at all.

Music is a kind of magical thing, and you can't make magic every time, but you try. Every once in a while it has that magic, and the audience knows that. I probably miss it more than I hit it, but I think that's what all musicians try for.

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

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

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.

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

There are so many artists that have inspired me.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

I love the vibe of Las Vegas.

I am a YouTube artist.

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.'

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

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.

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

I just want people to respect what I do.
