“Mexico is a Latin powerhouse. And Mexicans, they're known as hard workers. Here in the U.S., not everybody wants to do those kinds of jobs. I've lived. I know what it feels like and what they go through and how families suffer.”
“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.”
“I don't pretend to be anybody else but me.”
“I've always loved music since I was a little kid.”
“A watch shows how you want to look - or how you want people to look at you.”
“Music is art, and making watches is art, too.”
“Steve Aoki is somebody I really love, and he did a remix of 'Mi Gente,' too.”
“I'm not a big fan of fame; I'm a big fan of success.”
“Watches are about status.”
“Behind every big artist, there's a big team.”
“I don't want to be a follower; I want to be a leader and create new waves.”
“I'd love to work with people like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.”
“Thanks to social media, we've also been able to show ourselves as we are. In the end, masks are useless. You have to be real.”
“When you maintain a closeness with your fans, they are more forgiving when you make mistakes.”
“Even though you don't understand what I'm saying, you are going to really feel it. The same thing happened to me when I used to listen to English music. I didn't even understand one word. You know? But it just makes me feel great.”
“I pay a lot of attention to the people I let surround me. I learn something from those people and from everyone - from other musicians, from people on the street.”
“To me, family is first.”
“I'd want to start being a creative director of a specific line, like Adidas, for example. If they called me up to collaborate on something, I would do it.”
“I love Bad Bunny. He's changing the game. I think he's doing something very important with his success.”
“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.”
