I grew up dancing salsa - you know, a traditional Puerto Rican dance.

I spent my last year of high school in Latin America, and there's a edge of salsa under all of my rhythms.

I used to be so embarrassed by salsa; I wasn't into it.

I grew up in a big ol' Latin family, so that's all the music we used to play - salsa music. We'd always dance and have fun. You know how families get down, man! We just had fun with it.

I'm a big salsa fan!

I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing Spanish.

Once I tried to find myself as a musician and a composer, I went back and saw that there was something special about Puerto Rican music. I knew that before, but had never sat down and thought about it. The more I learned about it, the more it found its way into the music I was writing.

Whenever I cook, I think of Spanish music, so I always have to listen to some sort of salsa. It gets your body going.

De La Hoya doesn't know about salsa. He should keep on singing mariachis and leave the salsa to me. I'm good at salsa.
