So, when I got the contract for my album, even though it was an English record, my manager insisted on making sure we would record in Spanish as well, and it worked out really well for me.

I just lived it and did my own thing without looking over my shoulder. I think I'm very lucky, considering when I started everything, and the fact that I have a masters in music, and I've always worked in music, and that's what I wanted to do.

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

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

I grew up in a community that was bilingual. I've done it for a while, singing in both languages.

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.

Even before I became a recording artist, I did other things in music. I was a teacher, I did studio work, and I was an arranger and a producer.
