I have met him in person! It had reached 10 million views on Spotify. It continued to rise like crazy. So with “Gata Only” it was like “Wow, Chile is lit!” Hi, I'm FloyyMenor and you're watching Billboard News.
Welcome to New York.
Yes, yes, like in the movies or videos that people upload. It's like that.
Congratulations on your musical success.
Yes, exactly. I did some shows in Chile. I haven't done that many lately because I'm very focused on recording, doing things, doing interviews but with exclusive people, you know?
Well, thank you for granting us this interview.
Exactly… and Billboard is a dream for me.
First of all, let's talk about “El Comienzo”, your EP. How have your experiences influenced your music over the past year while creating your EP?
I always say that it's like my first mini album, so it has to do with the beginning of my career. Do you understand? The album has seven songs since I was eliminating songs that I no longer wanted. I was adding songs like “Peligrosa”.
