Jesús Ortiz Paz
It was something like that. I was cutting some hair. And then the guy was like hey they need a bass player. I knew how to play the bass a little bit, so I pulled up. And then at the end of the practice, I was like, ‘Hey, I sing too.’
Nicky Jam
And so that’s how you started? He didn’t know you will sing.
