What Jennifer Lopez puts out, it's not Latin music.

I come from a pop background, but I'm also a Puerto Rican and I do feel this music. My approach to salsa is a humble one, and I defy anybody to prove that I'm faking it.

So that I saw music as a way of documenting realities from the urban cities of Latin America.

I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.

There's nothing like it that can combine the things that are there, ... The art of drawing and painting ... music, dance, storytelling. All of these things in one package.
