My goal was to write an amazing song with a brand-new sound for my Latin audience, a song that would make them feel good, to dance, to escape from any harsh reality and just be free, not even thinking about a crossover record," he continued."I remember actually being nervous about what the reaction would be from my fans, that were so used to my romantic ballads and 'Despacito' being completely different from anything I had released before." "I’m afraid I still have not figured it out how or why 'Despacito' achieved what it did. "I just want to continue creating amazing music and if there is an opportunity to work with other artists from different genres, I’m all for that. "What happened with 'Despacito' is something that is hard to match, even by me, so I do not have any pressure of achieving the same," he said. "This year, in particular, I’ve been able to do several collaborations, not only with Justin (which was an awesome experience and of course I would love to work with him again in the future), but also with DNCE and Nicki Minaj, Afrojack, of course Daddy Yankee and most recently with the amazing Demi Lovato in my new single 'Échame La Culpa,' which is doing great."Īs far as trying to reach the same heights as "Despacito," Fonsi recognizes the inherent futility in creating art with that in mind. "I love collaborating with other artists, it’s something I’m used to doing," he explained. The collaboration is just one of many for Fonsi, who spoke to what draws him to working with other artists - including Demi Lovato on his new single, “Échame La Culpa.” Nothing would make me happier than to celebrate everything that has happened this year with him and Daddy Yankee."

"As an artist, the word GRAMMY has a very important meaning because the recognition comes from your peers," he shared. The GRAMMY distinction, in particular, is important to Fonsi, as it signifies an acknowledgment by his peers. I’m still digesting everything that is happening, but one thing is for sure, this is historic for Latin music and I’m proud to be a part of the selective group of artists that has crossover and shared our roots and culture with the world." "I feel extremely honored and grateful to be recognized by the Academy. "It just makes me feel like everything I’ve been working so hard for the last two decades and all the sacrifices I have made have been worthwhile," he explained.
