When I talk about God, I'm not necessarily talking about religion. To me, God is the energy and light that each of us carries.

I come from a very, very Catholic family. We used to pray the rosary every day after dinner.

You have to learn to balance work, family, a personal life; it is a part of life.

I was touched by the magic of music. My way to communicate was through my guitar and music.

Always when I write my music, I take my guitar, and I improvise always with a melody, you know, lyrics in Spanish. But sometimes I use some words in English. I don't know why. Maybe because I listen to a lot of music in English.

Singing in Spanish is much more honest, much closer to my roots. For me, Spanish is essential. I still think in Spanish, dream in Spanish. It's the melodies and arrangements that transmit meaning.

Social media and music in general have been changing so fast. You can go on Twitter and go from one artist to another. What I really like about it is the opportunity to communicate directly with your fans.
