I Set Out To Create A Means

Los Angeles Is A Very Special City. It's A Great Ethnic Mix, A Great Cultural Mix.

I Studied Music Since I Was Four Years Old, And From That Moment I Became Part Of A Family. And That Family Has Taught Me Things; Not Only Musical Things, But Things I Have To Face In Life, And That Is Where The Success Of The System Lies
