My kids can't eat awards.

We are thrilled to be a part of this year's Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards. Music is a central component of the show and the 'Kids Choice' CD is a natural and perfect extension. We are thrilled to release the 2nd annual Kids' Choice CD this year.

I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it.

I grew up around salsa, merengue, bachata, bass music, freestyle, hip-hop, techno, house, rave.

If you continue to work hard, let that be the fuel to your fire.

I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I'm from Miami, which wasn't getting looked at at the time. Three, I'm Cuban. But now, I've made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.
