EMOTIONS PRIOR TO THE 2022 GRAMMYS

Instead, he will spend it with his parents and brother, with whom he traveled to the United States to attend the ceremony.
“I don't have a ritual so to speak, but I always try to put myself in a positive mind. I try to make myself aware that I am there (at the Grammys) and winning. Put me in that vibe in the positive and that is already happening. However, sometimes it doesn't work, but sometimes it does like in 2019 when I was a double winner at the Latin Grammys. Positive mind! ”, he said.
He was also proud to be the only Peruvian nominee: “I am honored that I can represent my country and I am lucky to be Peruvian. Being Peruvian is the best, we have everything and I am proud to represent my country. I'm never going to stop, I'm always going to make good music representing my Peru,” he said.
“All Peru's support is immense. I would tell all the fans that Peru is present at the Grammys. Let's go Peru! , we are going to continue making art and we are growing. Let's go forward Peru!” , he added.
