Whenever I took a step forward, it seemed as though life was pushing me five steps back.

I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.

Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.

I am the same as the public as my fans.

My inspiration is always what I think my fans want to listen to. I often write about social problems. If I'm not going through it or I haven't gone through it, I want to make sure it touches someone. That's what I base my music on.

Malandrinas' means 'bad girls,' but not bad in a negative way. I wrote it in homage to my female fans.

It doesn't bother me at all that some people think I am too outspoken.
