I'm so grateful to Spotify for the enormous support to the reggaeton movement.
I'm not a big fan of fame; I'm a big fan of success.
We are proving that Latinos have the power to connect with an audience on a global level without having to leave our identity behind.
When I was, like, 12, I remember grabbing a mic, pretending it was a guitar, and performing in front of my friends. I didn't know at the time I wanted to be an artist.
I want to make music for everybody.
Steve Aoki is somebody I really love, and he did a remix of 'Mi Gente,' too.
In 2017, it's discouraging that it seems like we're going backward. And that's not just because of Trump; that's because we, as humans, condone discrimination; it's a human issue. It's part of something bigger.
I love Rihanna, but I'm not gonna marry Rihanna.
I'd love to work with people like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.
'Donde Estaras,' it is like a classic reggaeton, and we just added some Southern spice to bring it to 2018. But I wanted to go back to the roots of reggaeton, that type of reggaeton that makes you just feel good. You don't know what we are saying but that OK because 'Donde Estas' is where are you at but 'Donde Estaras' is where are you going to be.
I want to invite the mainstream into my world and to my sound and to what I'm doing. And I want mainstream artists to respect me and accept Latino artists as equals without us having to sing in English. I want them to know that I can compete globally, with whomever, in Spanish.
When you see a movie, they always put the Latino on the bad side or in a tacky way. It's not like that. Latinos are shining like a diamond.
We proved to the world that a completely Spanish song can take over the world.
There's always going to be somebody that don't like you. It's life.
To be a legend, we have to make a lot of right moves and great music.
The important thing is that I'm clear about the love and respect that I got for Rihanna.
To me, family is first.
I don't have to work with superstars - I want to work with cool artists that make super music.
Since I was a kid, I was listening to hip-hop.
I'm from Colombia, and we've been through a lot of hard situations.
