I grew up to the sound of live music in our Brooklyn household.

I grew up in New York.

I grew up in New York, I love New York.

I grew up in New York where there is such a different variety of people.

I've lived in other cities - Rome, Dublin, Mexico City - but I was born in New York City, and I always lived in those other places as a New Yorker.

I grew up in New York in an English-speaking environment.

I grew up in The Bronx. I mean, I was born and raised in New York City. And I started singing in Spanish because I was always just connected to my Latin roots.

I make music for the whole world, not just one borough.

My dad grew up in Washington Heights. I grew up in New York in Manhattan. So we're purebred New Yorkers.

I grew up in Manhattan, and now I live in Brooklyn.
