Although each album’s theme carries a question as a title, there is an exception: Questions. A song that, more than that, is a statement of intentions. “It’s like Grow 2.0a song that describes more deeply the personal moment I am. When I started doing the sketch of the album with Kevin, my producer, I said: there will be a song that is going to be called Questions.

They are beautiful, but life goes through. In Colombia we are very familiar and sometimes it gives me a lot Fomo Not being there. We try to see each other a lot, we always look for the excuse, and see you more”
