Well living in New York is really big for me because where I’m from music and dance are really big. You have people that can dance and sing, and that was one of the main things I did. I liked to sing and I like a lot of country music because it makes my feelings show. I remember when my Cuban friends and I were playing around throwing a football from a balcony from the top floor down to the street. One time we hit a car, and the man got out and we thought he was going to kill us. But we just ended up getting a lesson from our parents. It was kind of funny. We didn’t have many toys so the street was our playground. The way people dress is so common like you don’t have to go outside and dress to impress. You can go outside with shorts and a sleeveless shirt and not get judged. The people there are nice – most of them. There are a lot of cubanos, brasileños, venezolanos y de hondureños. Y, a veces, the Bronx is so relaxing.
