For me, I love Marc Anthony a lot. He's one of my dad's favorite artists, and I listened to him a lot growing up.

That messed me up, growing up in the public eye when I was a teenager. That's when everyone is trying to find themselves.

Growing up in Miami, being Cuban is integrated into our culture. When we greet anyone, we give them a kiss on the cheek.

Don't worry about breaks every 20 minutes ruining your focus on a task. Contrary to what I might have guessed, taking regular breaks from mental tasks actually improves your creativity and productivity. Skipping breaks, on the other hand, leads to stress and fatigue.

I was in art school, and we had all these random classes. We'd listen to a lot of Bollywood.

I like cool vocal inflections; I like cool sounds. I pretty much listen to anything I think is good.
