Music has given a voice to many generations, and I think we, as artists, can be a part of creating a better world.

Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.

I'm proud that I've been able to work with other artists to make sure that the smallest voices - the voices of our children - have a chance to be heard. Artists can reach, inspire, and motivate young people and leaders in a powerful way.

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.

I grew up in Barranquila, Colombia, and I spent most of my childhood dreaming about becoming a singer.

For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.

Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.
