“My parents are high school sweethearts.”

I got discovered off of YouTube.

My fans can see me grow up.

I never lie to my fans.

When I’m on family road trips, there is always Ranchera playing.

When I was 11, I decided to start rapping, playing guitar, and writing songs. Everything really blossomed from there.

My only way of getting my uncles’ attention or aunts’ attention or whoever’s attention was by dancing and singing around the house.

Can’t Stop Dancing’ is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I’m a little bit more mature for my age.

I’m all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they’re just listening to the song.

I look at old performance videos now, and it’s really funny – I thought I was such a gangster!

Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it’s donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.

My family are my friends.

If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food.

I think confidence is a true form of beauty.

I’ve definitely accepted the fact that I’m not normal.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming… a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

I’m like, ‘Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I’m OK with who I am and I’m happy with who I am?’

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.

Education is important because it prepares you for life.

There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.

There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.

Knowledge without follow – through is worse than no knowledge.

All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school – my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.

The walls of the educational system must come down. Education should not be a privilege, so the children of those who have money can study.

Poor people, people of color – especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education.
