 I'm very happy when I'm singing and I said, this is what I do, this is what I love. I have a lot of dreams now because of my music, of what I'm doing. I just want to get into all of the hearts around the world. The industry in the U.S. is separated and of course for the future I want to be the Latin singer for everybody. I think that's the hardest part. I was about four or five years old and I saw that music for the girl was very important. Carol saw my reflection musically because she was the daughter who followed my footsteps. My father, he always wanted to be a singer so he was very happy. And my mother started crying and she said, you are going to make the same mistake as your father. Papa la apoyaba y yo era la cortante. My mother was very, very upset. My sisters, they were like, no Carol, no please, no again, but it was my dream. I have been in this industry for 12 years. In Colombia it was very hard for me to get into radio stations because of the kind of music that I choose. I am an urban singer and for people in Colombia they told me like, you have to do pop, you have to do another kind of music. So it was very, very hard. I think it was the hardest part of my career. I remember one day somebody took my CD and told us, do you see something? Here, it's a girl singing reggaeton. That is not going to happen. I know she wants to take over the world. There's not too many female acts, especially in her genre. And she sees that. Carol represents a new school, a new hybrid of artists. She's one of the few artists that can actually sing and rap. I'm not alone, I'm your pure, I'm your poison, I keep looking for the rules of the game. Believe me, brother, I'm going to choose you. I mean, you see artists that, they're their duels. And you got one guy as a singer and one guy as a rapper. Well, Carol is a female act that can actually do both things. Coming from where we come from, in Colombia, and being able to, you know, splash some of the fresh sounds and textures of what's going on today, I think that's what's going to make it that much more special. Nobody in the United States knew who I am. So now they see the numbers on YouTube where they see that something is happening. So they open the door and say, OK, Carol, now you can talk what is happening in Colombia because we are interested. U.S. radio is not easy. She needs exposure. She needs to be in the country. She needs to be doing promotion. She needs to hit single. She needs to be out there working every day. I miss my family every day, but I think I have to work hard. I have to leave that for a second and keep going. 40 years ago, everybody was an idol because there aren't a lot of people singing, but now it's a lot of competition, so you have to push harder than before. We're going to radio station, to TV shows. I'm very happy. It's my first program in the United States and people are very positive. If we want to make it, we have to keep going this way. The first time that I knew one of my sons was in the United States, I got out from the airport. I got in the car. It didn't like my son started on the radio station. And at that moment, I couldn't believe that that was happening. It was happening at that moment. When you put the barrier on, you just have to be aware of it. I know it's going to be hard, I know it's going to be hard, but the day a woman achieves it, she achieves it in a triple way because obviously the merits and the honors are more, so I think it's worth it. When I saw her in an event of such great magnitude, I saw her as a total star. People are believing in what I'm doing, so when they see urban music, urban artists, men, men, men, now it's Carol G. Now it's happening, something is happening. Now here in Colombia, I think around the world.
