We grow from experience. My music is always changing and in constant,evolution. My first album is completely different to the last album. I,just follow my own taste on music.

At the end of the day a great melody is great - but the lyrics are what,make a song timeless.

I always respect a woman.

I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.

My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness. .
