ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Tell us about your latest album, La Familia.

I’m super happy with the album. It’s an album that carries that name because I love my family and I love my fans, which I also consider family. I’m extremely grateful to my fans and want the youth to value their family as well.

You’ve had allot of success in the Latin market, now your breaking into the U.S. market how does that feel.?

Amazing. Little by little without rushing. I want to work with rappers like Drake. But it’s a process that you can’t rush.

Your weight loss journey has been quite inspiring, how do you stay in shape on the road?

Its all about making the right choices, having balance has really helped while on the road, and just making sure you workout.

The Colombian reggaetonero has updated his genre’s sound with dance-inspired beats and seductive, Drake-esque lyrics. But don’t take our word for it, let the handsome Balvin tell you himself. We caught up with him to talk about his new album, La Familia, his favorite rapper, Drake (no surprise there), and his crazy shoe obssession.
