admitted in a recent interview with ElNuevoDia that he didn't like his
last album 'Sound Loaded'. "I didn't want to release the album when it
was released," he admitted. "I wanted to delay a year to record my second
album, but because of political things of a record company the situation
was forced. For me, I don't like my CD. I can't listen to it. And that
won't happen with the new one. I have never talked about this." Read more.

of ways to help others. He's very concerned about the people in India,
children with AIDS, the poor children of America. Talking with him enriches
you spiritually because he is a very noble human being, who is always thinking
of others."
