My life is nothing like my videos. I'm definitely not walking around with lots of hot women, as I am in my videos.

I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.

It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language, especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.

I never think about any of my accomplishments and I always get butterflies in my stomach and I never get too comfortable with the status.

I want to try different things but, most importantly, always be true to my roots and keep it organic. I'm never going to leave bachata behind. I'm always going to be a bachatero first.

Part of my success with urban bachata is reinventing yourself as an artist and continuing to give people different kind of fusions, mixing up the elements and concepts without changing the beat.
