I have to admit being exhausted after my last tour, but it was worth it. We had a blast! As soon as I started to sing and to dance, I felt the passion of my fans from all over the world. Thanks for joining me and enjoying my show.
I will keep working on my new album. I've decided to work with three collaborating singers. I'm interested in producing new sounds and remixes. I intend to have it ready by the end of the year. I do hope to hear comments from all my fans.
Personal Growth
I never thought I was going to go for an artistic career. Ten years ago, I was a babysitter; I looked after babies in a foreign country. In those days, I wanted to find out what to do with my life. Then, one night, I was with my friends at a bar and we sang some karaoke. It was fun. While I was singing, I noticed that a man was looking at me. He was a DJ. A few minutes later, he made me a job proposal I couldn't turn down. Soon, I started singing at big shows; I had to hold back my feelings and deal with the stage fright. I drew on my talent and voice to open new doors; I've collaborated with David Guetta (Titanium), Christina Aguilera, and Flo Rida.
