I have never had one moment of stage fright and performing has always been a huge thrill and source of enjoyment for me. It's part of my personality.

I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.

We know that many boys and girls leave school because of poverty, because they have to work. However, there are an important number of children who abandon their studies because of the abuses they're subject to by teachers and their own parents.

I don't think I would want my children to enter into my profession. There's a lot of stress and so much competition. There are easier things you can do with your life.

Education affects every major challenge we face in society. It creates economic growth, paves the way for peace and stability and helps erase the legacy of marginalization.

My little boy (Sasha) is now one-year-old and that makes it easier for me to go back to the studio and work on creating new music.

Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.
