It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.

If you write songs and if you write music that's very sincere and very honest, it's pop music, but it is pop music with a lot of honesty and a lot of heart.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

For me, there's still a lot of room to grow; I'm just happy that I have so much more to give.

This record has a lot of influences that I'd love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I'll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.

A real active music set, based and really concentrated on what the music's all about. That's what I'm all about - singing and a really good strong music set.

If there was any other place I would live, other than Miami, it would be California. It's beautiful. The weather is just gorgeous, I love being here, too.
