I have a very strong identity that connects me to Argentina and to Latin America, but at the same time, I have a deep connection to the music from the United States and music from Europe, too.

People my age don't always know where their music comes from.

I know that people think of me in terms of Latin music and that's wonderful, that's my heritage, that's who I am, but there's so much more to me and my music.

The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.

I've always wanted to release records in America. That's where I believe the music belongs, and the style and the eclectic musical mix that we put together kind of belongs here.

A lot of artists get famous overseas first. I don't know what it is here. I have a large underground following in the U.S., but I don't get the airplay as much as I do in, say, Australia. Over there, they can play whatever they like, it seems, but not so much here.

Music comes from a place we don't know.

I have hundreds and hundreds of people from Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Argentina, every day, buying my music and telling me about it online.

You can tell all our songs come from us and from our artists, the people we write with and travel with.

Even though I am signed to an American label, I want Australia to fall in love with my music because if it doesn't work here, it won't work anywhere.
