Bad Bunny
I don't want to be fake. I'm just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.Collection: Power
You don't have the same mentality as you did five years ago - even one year. People are always changing, and I believe that everyone deserves the space to change and for people to recognize their change.Collection: Space
I've always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family, especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we're young, we don't understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it's a blessing to have that support at home.Collection: Family
Music belongs to the people. To no one else. To no one else.Collection: Music
If a small-town boy like me who bagged groceries was able to make his dreams come true, you can too.Collection: Dreams
My mom is very religious - Catholic - and from a young age they brought me to the church.Collection: Mom
I live in Puerto Rico, my family lives in Puerto Rico, my friends. What happens in Puerto Rico matters to me.Collection: Family
A good song never gets old.Collection: Good
Puerto Rico's relationship with music is everything. It's an island full of talent and if you grow up there, you grow up living and breathing music.Collection: Music
Money does not change people, people change.Collection: Money
The music we do is for people to enjoy, dance and sing to it. Dreamers - keep on dreaming and keep working hard to achieve your goals. There are many difficulties, but what matters is to stay focused and have perseverance.Collection: Music
It doesn't matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.Collection: Teacher
If I went out to play basketball with other kids, when I came home I'd shower and go right back to the computer again. If there was a birthday party or a family activity, I would take my laptop and spend the whole day there.Collection: Birthday
Education is important because it prepares you for life.Collection: Education
I can simply tell you that since I was a kid, I didn't like to look like anyone else.
Everyone my age probably grew up listening to the 'perreos' of Plan B.
When I grow up, I want to be like Balvin.
My style influences my music and everything around me.
For years, decades, the system has taught us to stay quiet. They've made us believe that those who take to the streets to speak up are crazy, criminals, troublemakers.
I made the track 'Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola' before I met Balvin.
I think if I keep working in the way that I am, from the heart and from passion and with love, well, the fruits of that will keep coming.
When I get dressed, it's like freestyling.
When I arrived, at first a lot of people were like, 'This kid is different.'
I'll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.
I have the space and liberty to create.
Everyone has their style and your style explains a lot about who you are - you feel me? I've had style since childhood, so I like to dress how I feel. But maybe I get carried away by some trends.
I always like to create things that get attention. It used to be a problem when I wasn't famous. Now, I can do whatever I want and people have to accept it.
You learn a lot in life but there are a lot of tools and resources in school that help you grow professionally and personally for whatever goal you may want to achieve.
To all the musicians who are making reggaeton, let's put some more effort into it and bring something new to the people!
I tried to give the world a bit of creativity, lyrics. And for me, I will always represent music from Puerto Rico, reggaeton, Latin music.
A lot of artists fail when they try to act, and they flop. So when I get into acting, it's going to be to do it well, something good, something of quality. I want people to say, 'Wow, that movie' - or that show or whatever - 'turned out really well.'
I never said I was the best in anything. I never said I'm an icon. The world decides all of that.
In Puerto Rico we dance to everything.
Music is something no one can control.
Everyone has been in love, at some point or another.
When I was a little boy in school I had to dress up as a bunny and there's a picture of me with an annoyed face, and when I saw it, I thought I should name myself 'Bad Bunny.'
When you go to an oasis, you go there to supply yourself with the vital things you are missing, things that you need.
Obviously black matches with everything.
I think it's my responsibility, as a person of influence... to sometimes try to do what I can.
I tell my fellow reggaetoneros, keep giving it your all and bring more creativity.
You listen to the radio and all the songs sound the same, from 8 in the morning to 12.
If I have the chance to say something, I will say it - but that doesn't obligate me to always say something, or to shed light on every problem, as if I were a lawmaker.
Trap is new. It didn't start yesterday, but when I was 5, it didn't exist - not even in the U.S. I've evolved with the music.
I would get out of school and go straight to my computer to create beats.
Working with J Balvin has undoubtedly been an unparalleled experience.
The first rap CD that I had, it was so different for me. The energy, the wordplay, all that caught my attention, and I liked it.
We need to try to unite audiences, unite countries, join musical tastes, unite people.
Fashion is one thing, but style is another.
What keeps me motivated is love and passion.
The world can criticize me, but l can always criticize it back.
