“He fell in love with the song as soon as he heard it. He told me that he thought it was a worldwide hit and that he wanted other artists to participate in this song. And for me it is an honor that Alan and Héctor share this topic with me. To be taken into account by artists of that stature is a wonderful thing.“, he adds.

About the lyrics The goodbyethe man from Cuenca confirms that it comes from a personal experience he had a few years ago, “I use my music to say things that I have experienced, things that I feel and think. I wrote the first draft at a time when I said, ‘No, I’m going to overcome this feeling,’ and so, as a way of saying goodbye, it was born. Anyone who listens to it will be able to understand and identify it.”

Add that He paid great attention to the words he used in his texts. “I’m a little more urban pop, that’s my line, but always pay attention to what I say and express, because I feel like there’s a lot of responsibility in music and sometimes artists don’t realize it. I have a lot fans young people, and if I want to be a father one day, I wouldn’t want my son to sing something horrible that I wrote.

For him, Working on this song brought him many lessons. “I learned a lot from Alan and little bullWe’ve talked a lot, we know each other very well and I think they’re great guys. I have realized that the greater the artist, the more humble he is,” he says.

About his future plans

“This year I would like to try something more mixed with the Ecuadorian, because here we have some very nice rhythms, from the aisles to the Emerald Bomba. I like to experiment and don’t close myself off to anything musically. There’s a lot of music coming soon shows, I just signed with Warner for The goodbyethis is my first song released on a label and they’re asking us for more. The truth is that there is no good sex or bad sex. There is only well-made music and music that is sometimes not so well-made. Just as there is spectacular salsa, there is weak salsa and there is reggaeton that is luxurious and maybe not that good. Everything will depend greatly on people’s perception and taste.”
