Why did you decide to apply to Viña del Mar with the songs Because of you Y Sorry?
Because of you It is one of my most popular songs and loved by my people. Sorry is also one of them. I think they both have a great message. In the end they chose Sorryit seemed to the production that it went more with the festival.
the letter of Sorry Was it inspired by any situation in your life?
The moment of the composition and the composition of the study we began to talk about something that I think has happened to everyone, which is being with a partner and behaving badly, and you are aware that you are behaving badly, but that’s the way things are of the life. Sometimes you have to put pride aside and accept mistakes.
How does it feel to know that you are going to represent Ecuador in Viña del Mar?
Incredible, spectacular. I feel a huge honor. as spider man says With great power comes great responsibility. I am sure all the work that I have been doing for more than a month will give results. I am with faith. With humility, but confident.
How do you see the rest of the competitors? Do you think you can win?
They were chosen for a reason, they have great talent. I have reviewed all their work, they are emerging talents from their countries. I’m sure I’ll be able to play a great role. With the help of God and my country I know I’m going to do it.

How did your family and friends take the news?
As soon as they gave me the news, I told my manager and my family. My family was totally excited and happy for me. Two weeks later I just told a group of friends, we couldn’t tell until the festival made it official. They too, totally happy and excited. It was only now that I was able to tell the country and the media. Messages from colleagues, friends, childhood friends have not stopped arriving.
He is also an architect. Was music always his purpose?
Music has always been in me. Always, from bald. In classes the teachers took me out because I wouldn’t stop singing and that bothered them. Since I was 8-9 years old when I stood on stage for the first time, I have not left music. At first I saw it as a hobby. I think it was in 2017 that I put out my first song that I got bit by that music bug and I said, you know what, let’s get serious. I’m here now. I’m going to sing in Viña del Mar.
How was Three Fingers born?
He was born at school, we were three friends who made music to bother. We also competed in college band contests. First we made music in English, then we moved on to ballads in Spanish. Who would say? Almost 10 years later we are here making all the preparations for Viña del Mar. Crazy.
What are your musical inspirations?
I have a lot. One of my great references is Sin Bandera. I also like Reik, Wisin y Yandel, Piso 21. Now there is a lot of talent in Argentina, like Tiago PZK. I am also inspired by music in English.

What was the moment when you said: “this is going long”?
At the moment when people began to love me so much. That was from day 1 with Facing, a song that we uploaded to Spotify for scrubbing, for three friends who did this to annoy. People liked it so much that we later re-uploaded it better produced. That affection was what prompted me to say, you know what, this is it. (AND)
