I play piano and write better than I can sing.
My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.
It’s important for me to get back to my fans here and around the world. I feel very, very blessed that so many people have continued to write me and to pour out their love for me and my work.
Your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind.
Take your passion and make it happen.
Life has a balance and natural order. I’m not fighting the flow anymore. My career right now is very up. It’s happening naturally and it’s happening well.
I knew early in life that I wanted a show business career.
I refuse to let anybody try to typecast me. It’s against my nature. I like to continually do different things.
I was put into this business by my parents as soon as I could walk. I was groomed by them for this business. I didn’t wake up at the early ages of 5 or 6 and say I want to be a star.
If something isn’t working out in one aspect of my career, it’s not any big neurotic, crazy phase for me, it’s just something that I accept, and that’s okay. I’m not going to keep banging my head against the wall.
It got to a point of where it was ruining my health and I just hated it. I hated doing it and I couldn’t stop without some kind of help to get the longing for it out of my system.
My brother, Mario, is in show business and so are all my cousins on my dad’s side. We come from a family of musicians. My grandmother’s sister in Puerto Rico plays five instruments.
My fans are grown now. They are not expecting me to do the bubblegum pop I did 20 years ago, even though it was pretty substantive. It was saying more than bubblegum pop says today. I am continuing where I left off.
