If it weren't for this, I'd probably be working a normal job and playing on the weekends for 10 people at the Irvine Spectrum.

You really have to play with the space in a riff so it can be allowed to breathe.

We're always trying to do something better than the last record; to do something different and evolve as a band.

I am an actor, but my most important job is provider of my family.

I found my voice singing pop and ballads, almost all of them Colombian artists. When I was 16, my family gave me a recording session with some Colombian producers, and that's where I started my career.

As a layperson, I consider myself fairly well-educated in terms of politics. My family always has been really interested in politics, and various members of my family have a hand in politics in upstate New York.

I'm from Philadelphia, and I go to Philly a bunch throughout the holidays, which is my only time to see my family, so we get pretty festive around that time of year. It's also the only time I have vacation.
