“Infinite thanks to all the people who supported me in this short time that I have been on stage. I have made the sad decision to stay away from music for the safety of my family and my peace of mind. I will only finish with the contracts I already have, I can't look bad with the pending jobs. Don't call me for jobs anymore, please. This time, the crime and insecurity that happens in my Callao truncated my dreams. I prefer to leave everything aside because my family is more important to me than anything in the world. It's because of them that I broke my back working, to give them a better life without hurting anyone. In these last performances I will give everything on stage. I will always be grateful to all those who support me and I will always keep in mind that I gave my all to leave Callao on high, but they didn't let me do it.”
