Carolina Giraldo Navarro (Karol G)

Collaborating on \'Tusa\' with Nicki Minaj came into my life unexpectedly and I wanted to keep it like that for my fans.

Machistas are out of style.

The Latin urban genre is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

I know Becky G, Natti Natasha, and other Latina singers, we have been working many, many years and now we have the opportunity to show what we have, to show what we have been doing for many years. Great things are happening for women in the Latin music industry.

I do have those high peak moments when I feel my best.

Diddy and Ciroc are moving culture forward, while communicating the importance of social responsibility.

There are not many girls doing reggaeton or urban music in the Latin music industry.

I think that my fans are the most important thing in my career.

I want to be a mom. It\'s something that when I do have kids, I think I will retire from making music for a while.

I\'m thrilled to represent Ciroc Summer Colada.

A lot of people may know me for my music now. It took me almost 14 years to get where I am, and it was really hard.

I went through a difficult time, gaining 24 pounds in one month. A few haters attacked me online for how I looked, even though the majority of my fans were supportive. Those were the ones that kept me going.

I\'ll admit that I am not always 100 percent confident because I\'m a woman. I\'m a woman and I\'m human.

There\'s a strong wave of songs by women. Even if the songs are collabs, women have the intro and the chorus, which is what people can sing. We\'re getting the credibility, the spaces in the award shows, and people want to hear our point of view.

In Las Vegas, a day before the Latin Grammys, I was walking backward and hit a light and fell down. The worst part is that I was singing with Becky G and Mau y Ricky - they all rushed over to help me. It was very dramatic.

What I really spend money on is finding a nice place to stay near the sea.

I would love to perform with Rihanna. That\'s one of my biggest dreams.

Ten, 15 years before, the Latin industry was singing Anglo music, trying to get an opportunity with them. Everything changed, and now around the world everyone is listening to our Latin music.

What I love about \'Culpables\' is that it\'s a completely clean song. We do not speak ill of women or men. The song is clean. It does not have bad words.

I love making music but there has to be variety in life.

Family gatherings were very important to me growing up.

I just want other women to be able to see themselves in the music.

I was thinking of the parallel between the ocean, the life and the music. The ocean is everything. It\'s calm, but brave - it\'s life.

When I get by the ocean, that\'s the only moment that I get that silence and that connection, not with the ocean, but with myself.

In my songs there are no bad words, so kids can sing them, and girls can identify with singing with them, too, because it\'s not like a man singing reggaeton.

I worked with different producers from all genres, trying to bridge different styles of music, from urban to electronica to ballads.

One of my dreams is to become a female entrepreneur with other projects not just related to music.

It\'s good to have experience in other ventures and have other goals. Like acting, having businesses, starting from zero and making something grow.

Instead of speaking of men versus women, we should speak about artists rising at a worldwide level.

Everywhere I went, people would tell me that trap and reggaeton was for men, not women. I wasn\'t being taken seriously, and I was often being told to do something else.
