'Malandrinas' means 'bad girls,' but not bad in a negative way. I wrote it in homage to my female fans.

My inspiration is always what I think my fans want to listen to. I often write about social problems. If I'm not going through it or I haven't gone through it, I want to make sure it touches someone. That's what I base my music on.

If I had the opportunity to speak to a young immigrant girl that just arrived to the U.S. the advice I would have for her would be: ask, speak, search; because there are opportunities out there. And, know that you aren't the only immigrant or the last to come to this country. Many that have come before you have succeeded. It is possible.

Mexican music runs through my veins. I loved it. Growing up, my father didn't allow us to listen to English music at home. That's all I heard. I had no choice.

Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.

No one else has ever opened doors for me. I opened them myself.
