Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.
From Jon Secada
Well, I always wanted to be educated and be prepared.
For me, there's still a lot of room to grow; I'm just happy that I have so much more to give.
I grew up in a community that was bilingual. I've done it for a while, singing in both languages.
If you write songs and if you write music that's very sincere and very honest, it's pop music, but it is pop music with a lot of honesty and a lot of heart.
If there was any other place I would live, other than Miami, it would be California. It's beautiful. The weather is just gorgeous, I love being here, too.
I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more.
And for me, it's been, not only where I learned, but the people that I met there. Most of the people that I work with are guys that, one way or another, have been associated with the university.
I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.
I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.
