Mexico is a Latin powerhouse. And Mexicans, they're known as hard workers. Here in the U.S., not everybody wants to do those kinds of jobs. I've lived. I know what it feels like and what they go through and how families suffer.

I like to change and switch it up. I don't want to sound like anybody else or sound the same. I always have to reinvent myself.

Music is art, and making watches is art, too.

We want to change to point of view about Latinos in the world and Colombians. Forget about the bad past.

I want to change the perception about Latinos worldwide. I think people don't know yet how cool we are.

Kanye and Pharrell are in fashion. Why not J Balvin?

I see myself like what Drake did in the game. I came with melodies and different lyrics, from a different place - reggaeton is from Puerto Rico; Drake is from Canada.

Colombian culture has a lot of music - it's in our blood; it's in our DNA.

We are making music for the human race, and even beings from other galaxies are welcome to vibe with us.

Music goes further than any border, any language.

I'm honored and thankful to be partnering with the prestigious CFDA as one of the men's wear ambassadors for fashion week. My interest in fashion is only matched by my love for music, and I'm blessed to be given an opportunity to learn about some of my favorite designers from a firsthand look at their latest collections.

Just because you are Latino does not mean you can't be global.

I invite you to get out of the box, be yourself. If you have blue hair, pink, yellow; if you have a broken tooth; if you have other sexual preferences... be yourself. Fight for your happiness always.

Dreams are the ones that really keep me moving all the time. That's what drives me.

I've always loved music since I was a little kid.

I moved to Oklahoma to learn English when I was 16 years old from Colombia for six months; then I moved to New York.

'Mi Gente' is a song that embodies a special moment in music - a new sound of a Latino culture on the rise and being embraced globally.

I don't want to be a follower; I want to be a leader and create new waves.

By erasing barriers of races, colors, continents, genres, or languages, we can achieve the whole world moving their head to the same beat.

As Latinos, we are many, and our geography is gigantic.

Watches are about status.

I like track suits and sometimes to be suited up. I like to be like a chameleon.

I'm just a regular guy trying to make my dream come true like everybody else.

I'm no savior, and I'm no Robin Hood.
