You grew up in Florida, so what does moving back mean to you?

Moving back to my home state has been bittersweet. I forgot how much fun and relaxing Miami can be, especially in the spring and summer. However, I miss the West Coast and try to visit as much as possible.

What can you tell us about your journey into Latin music?

I feel like a child in a theme park; there’s so much to explore and to be creative with. It’s nerve-wracking yet super exciting, and I cannot wait to share my visions with my supporters and loved ones.

What has been a career highlight thus far?

Shooting my first fragrance campaign for Jean Paul Gaultier!

You’ve done numerous campaigns throughout your career. Do you have a favorite fashion brand?

It’s hard to stick to one brand when I love and admire the work of many brands; however, my favorite at the moment is Acne Studios.

What does your skincare regimen look like?

I love to try new skincare products all the time. My usual routine includes a gentle cleanser, a toner, vitamin C, a retinol serum and a moisturizer.

What do you hope to accomplish this year?

I hope to release music and start my acting career this year.

What is your favorite thing about living in Miami?

My favorite thing about living in Miami is having beautiful beaches just a few minutes away.
