Quotes
I always travel with my guitar. I take it myself – with me in my hand. I don’t like to send it by cargo because it’s dangerous. There is no way I would do that.

Music is a really powerful way for me to catalyze all kinds of things. It’s always been the cure. Through music, I’ve healed all the wounds I’ve had and celebrated all the good things in life. Through music, I turn things, good or bad, into energy.

Always when I write my music, I take my guitar, and I improvise always with a melody, you know, lyrics in Spanish. But sometimes I use some words in English. I don’t know why. Maybe because I listen to a lot of music in English.

I love performing in front of people, no matter where they come from or what language they speak.
