I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I\'m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

I think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.

My mami and papi love my music. They\'re always listening to the radio waiting for one of my songs to come on. And when it does, they turn up the volume - and turn it back down when it\'s over.

I don\'t travel with them, but they can\'t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes... I used to play with my family - dad, my grandpa, my uncles.
