"And I started out on a mission to – to really prove that person and a lot of other people wrong. That I can mix community that I can be an artist, I can become an A – an A-list artist, and my name will be known, and that’s where I’m at now. And it took me a couple years but I’m there. And whether I get nominated for a Grammy or not or I get an award or not, um, it’s a beautiful experience being involved with the Grammy chapter. Um, having shared the studio and the stage with Latin artist and producers in the R&B and Latin world and it’s a humbling experience because they welcomed me with open arms but yet on the local level it was kinda like we don’t know who you are, etc."
