Quotes from Prince Royce

I always sang in English. It's just that nobody heard me.

In Spanish, I record a lot of single-voice tracks, and in English, I 'stack' a lot of voices, so it's very different, and I think I got so used to recording in Spanish for six years that it was really refreshing and challenging to get in and record 'Double Vision' in English.

I grew up listening to a lot of Usher at 13 and 14. I have every Usher album that ever existed. So I grew up listening to a lot of Usher, Michael Jackson, Luis Miguel, a lot of pioneers in Latin music.

There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

I hope to touch many Hearts through my music

Everything in life is a risk! I mean, you walk out onto the street and it's a risk! Don't you think?

Bachata is expensive to produce because of all of the instruments.

I love hip-hop, R&B, techno and Latin.

My ultimate goal in life, with my music, is to make a movement.

My friends and I were the class clowns in high school, so one day we were showing off at our seats, and I fell off my chair! I had to get stitches, and I had a bloody lip. I was trying so hard to be a cool class clown!

All my fans are my girlfriends.

I just want to bring the people good music.

I like Miami in the winter: there's no humidity, no bugs, no mosquitoes. You go out and wear your jacket, and you're all good!

I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.

I feel blessed to even be able to put out an English album. Not too many Latin artists get the opportunity to come out and record another genre that's so different to Bachata.

My intent is never to leave Latin music. I definitely still want to release bachata albums.

I grew up playing basketball and eating hot dogs on the corner.

I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.

My parents and grandparents listened to bacheta heavy, the true bachata from back in the day - Juan Luis Guerra, Anthony Santos. I liked the genre, but I remember thinking, 'OK, enough of this.' I would sing Usher's 'U Remind Me' to the girls in school.

I represent New York, I represent the Bronx, I represent the Dominican Republic. And I always have that in mind with everything that I do.

My parents are Dominican. I would always go to the Dominican Republic, and I fell in love with Bachata, which comes from the Dominican Republic.

When I hear the songs 'Dangerous' or 'End of My World', I go, 'Wow, I didn't even know I could go that low!' And when I played them for my family, they said, 'That doesn't even sound like you.'

I think when you translate songs, you lose the real essence and the meaning.

I would definitely love to work with somebody like Jay Z or Rihanna.
