I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.

Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.

Fans have been very important in my career. Even though I'm just doing me and doing my thing, they're the captains of this ship.

I met people that I couldn't talk to - they didn't speak Spanish or English - but they knew my songs. That's what I love, the music has gone past where I thought it would get to. That's the power of music, how it can travel and break language barriers.

I listen to a lot of crazy stuff like pop, techno, rock, hip-hop, rap, baladas, bachata...my iPod is crazy. I like listening to a lot of stuff in different languages, so my music is always out there for me.

Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.

I always used to sing in the shower, but I never really got into the music until a friend of mine helped me a lot with recording.
