Maicol Superstar

 Pues hice la entrevista. Le pregunté a Maicol Superstar un par de cosas, las contesto y fue bien. Pero después seguimos hablando y aprendí que él es loco cono su hija, le gusta escuchar los Orishas–música diferente para la mente creativa. También tiene un amor especial para las culturas diferentes y considera Mexico como su segunda casa. Cuando te tratan bien es lo que pasa. Maicol es tremenda persona y podemos aprender mucho de el. Tiene un tatuaje con el símbolo de ➤'play' para darle 'play' a la vida. Excelente!

I did the interview. I asked Maicol Superstar some questions, he answered and it was good. But then we just kept on talking and I learned that he loves his daughter, he listens to the Orishas–different music is good for creativity. He also has an appreciation for different cultures and considers Mexico to be his second home. Good hospitality. A great person all around that has a lot offer. He has a ➤ 'play' button tattoo to hit 'play' on life. How cool is that?!

Bionica: Maicol Superstar!
Maicol Superstar: Yes.
Bionica: Out of all the countries that you have visited, which one is your favorite and why?
Maicol Superstar: I really don't have a preference. I really like Italy, I really like Spain, Ecuador. I like Mexico, it's my second home. I'm fascinated by Colombia, Santo Domingo is something else…You know, everyone has it's own flavor and it's something really great that they are able to support what's ours.
Bionica: What do you miss most when you go away?
Maicol Superstar: In reality my bed, it's the best
Bionica: What's the weirdest thing that you have seen at a club?
Maicol Superstar: Wow, I've seen a lot of weird things. It really depends on what you consider weird
Bionica: Once, when I first started going to clubs, a DJ asked 'whose are these?' and he was referring to some silicone.
Maicol Superstar: Ok…wow–wow. Well I can tell you, something weird that happened to me at a club was when I fell off stage after dancing kind of crazy. You know I was the joke of the evening.
Bionica: Is there something that you have to do overtime before going on stage, some sort of ritual?
Maicol Superstar: You know, I always talk with the man upstairs and I ask Him to stay with me–it's worked well so far.
Bionica: What do you like most about going up on stage?
Maicol Superstar: That I can say what I want with out having to expect anything. I say what I want, when I want, because I want to say it. If you like it good and if you didn't, well I said it because I wanted to.
Bionica: And can you do the Maicol Superstar (y puedes hacer el Maicol Superstar?)
Maicol Superstar: How does it go?
Bionica: The way you do it Maicol Superstar.
Maicol Superstar: Maicol Superstar in the house!

Maicol Superstar: You know, I remember when I started in the 90s. I had a beeper and in Carolina there some singers (including me) and in Bayamón there were others. Bayamón is a town in Puerto Rico. And Ivy Queen would tell me 'I love you so much. We're here for whatever you need.' I would reply to her saying 'My love, we're here for you too.'
We always had a special love and affection for each other you know. From that moment to today, 2018, you were able to see how our queen still has that same love for us. That makes me proud because it means that what we planted is still there, it's alive. I'm very proud of the queen and how it all went down tonight. Kisses, Ivy baby this is for you Muah!!!

Bionica: You have a son and a daughter?
Maicol Superstar: I only have a daughter.
Bionica: I would love to be able to go into my dad's closet and pick things out, but his style is very different from mine.
Maicol Superstar: I have a daughter and she's the apple of my eye, she's the light of my life and right now I'm here because of her.
Bionica: That's beautiful (que hermoso)
Does she like your music too? A little?
Maicol Superstar: Well, she really isn't into it because since she can remember, she's always seen this as my job. And so it's simply her dad's work. Now she does like this one and the other, so as not to mention any names…But she doesn't get involved with my work you know.
She gives me my space and really respects what I do because through it she is who she is. Because of my job, she's able to study at a university, she has her own car. She's a very smart young lady. I'm really proud of her.
Bionica: Has she gone to work with you? For example to the recording studio?
Maicol Superstar: No, I've invited her but she tells me 'no dad, I don't want to.' She won't go. She doesn't really like to get involved in those things but she does know new artists and she's hang out with some of them although I may not like too much, but that's how it is with young people, you know.
Bionica: You don't really like it because as a dad you're being very careful with her?
Maicol Superstar: Of course, always. And when I don't like something, she knows that aside from being her dad, I'm her friend and no other person is going to tell her things the way that I will.
Bionica: What is she studying?
Maicol Superstar: Well right now, she's studying photography. She has a great camera that she made me buy. She has a lot of distant shots and she'll go in a red room (dark room), take the camera, take the picture, put it in water, take her time…She likes it, she really likes it.
Bionica: What has been your biggest challenge as a dad?
Maicol Superstar: Well it's not easy making a baby. A lot of kids now a days think that it's a joke and it's not. It's a life. It's much more than life itself. You're bringing life into this world and the same way that you need life, this life that you bringing in to this world, this life will always need as well. So really think that one thing is one thing and another is life you know. They have to…I don't know if you follow...
Bionica: Yes of course.

DJ Nelson

He sido su fan desde Flow la Discoteka cuando escuché a Cochinola por primera vez en un MP3 que mi mejor amiga trajo desde la Republica Dominicana. Ahí pude confirmar que, él–DJ Nelson es un duro! Es la prueba de que si amas lo que haces, no tendrás que trabajar ni un solo día en tu vida.

I've been a fan since Flow La Discoteka when I first heard Cochinola on an MP3 my best friend brought back from the Dominican Republic. That's when I confirmed that yep–DJ Nelson– this man is the man! He goes on to be the proof that if you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life.

DJ Nelson: Let's do it.
Bionica: What do you like most about NY?
DJ Nelson: I lived in New York for many years, the city inspires me to make music, the people, the women–it's the city. It's my city, I love it.
Bionica: What do you like most about your job?
DJ Nelson: I feel good when I produce some music and people can sing it, dance to it, forget their troubles… That's what I like most.
Bionica: My mom love the song with Anuel, she loves the one you did with Anuel the one that says To @#$% You Don't Have To Love Me, she's my mom (es mi madre) but she loves it.
DJ Nelson: You know, I've had the opportunity to work with Anuel many times and the song Ayer (Yesterday) on Flow La Discoteka 3, Ayer remix with Farruko, Ayer  remix with Balvin, Nicky, Yankee, well it really incredible. I also worked on the remix for Sola. Wow! It was great.
Bionica: What's the most time you have spent producing a song?
DJ Nelson: I have produced songs like Arcángel's Chica Virtual in a half hour.
Bionica: Woah!
DJ Nelson: And it took me about a half hour to produce the base rhythm for Anuel's Ayer.
Bionica: Nelson you are the man! You're crazy.
DJ Nelson: It's what I love, it's really what I feel, it's what actually runs through my veins.
Bionica: Thank you so much.

Ser Latino es muchas cosas
Es hablar ingles
Es hablar español
Es el son de un tambor
Es la voz de una canción
Es la unión de culturas diferentes creando una sola fusión

Y eso es exactamente lo que celebra los premios Latin Trends
Los grandes logros de personas que comparten lo maravilloso de ser Latino
El pasado martes 12 de Mayo fue la decimocuarta celebración de tal grandeza en el Symphony Space Theatre de Manhattan donde 12 Latinos como el legendario futbolista David Villa, Lucinda Martinez executiva de HBO y el neurocirujano Dr. Rafael Ortiz entre otros fueron reconocidos por sus labores positivas en la comunidad.
April Hernandez Castillo & Luis D. Ortiz fueron los anfitriones de la noche en la cual los que asistieron pudieron disfrutar de la musica de Frankie Negron, Doñé y el violin de Lorenzo Laroc con la actuación especial de Espíritu Gitano junto a Barbara Martinez & Sol La Argentina.
Gracias a  New York Presbyterian Hospital, Inca Kola y CUNY por auspiciar este evento. No se pueden perder la decimoquinta celebración de los premios Latin Trendsetter el próximo año. Para mas información pueden visitar Latin Trends. Os dejo con unas fotos! 
Gracias a The Brand Phoenix

Being Latino is a lot of things
It's speaking Spanish
It's speaking English
It's the beat of a drum
It's a song or a hum
It's a union of different cultures fused into one

And that is exactly what the Latin Trendsetter Awards celebrate
The achievements of wonderful people who share this wonderful bond
The 14th annual celebration of such greatness took place last Tuesday the 10 of May at the Symphony Space Theatre in NY where 12 Latino Trendsetters such as soccer legend David Villa, HBO executive Lucinda Martinez and neurosurgeon Dr. Rafael Ortiz among others were recognized for their astounding contributions to the arts, sports and community.
Hosted by April Hernandez Castillo & Luis D. Ortiz, guests at this event were able to enjoy music by Frankie Negron, Doñé and the sweet sounds of the violin as played by Lorenzo Laroc as well as performances by Epíritu Gitano which featured Barbara Martinez & Sol La Argentina.
All of this was made possible in part by New York Presbyterian Hospital, Inca Kola and CUNY who will be waiting for you next year for the 15th round of the Latin Trendsetter awards. You can visit Latin Trends for more information.

El Drastico

Desde Brooklyn, Drastico comparte sus metas para dejar su huella en el mundo musical.  

Coming from Brooklyn Drastico shares his goals on how to make his mark.

Bionica: Drastico. Puerto Rican, from Brooklyn. Tell me a little about yourself, your style in music and what inspires you.
Drastico: When it comes to music, I love anything urban. I like hip-hop and R&B–similar to Drake. What I want to do, is change the music genre with my Puerto Rican-American flow. Quiero hacer lo miasma. What they do in english, I want to do in spanish along the lines of R&B and hip-hop.

Vein-Translation

To me a good song is one that pulls you in not just because of the lyrics but because of the body of music too. You know, the fusion of beats and sounds that makes you itchy to just shake it and work the dance floor or just mellow out with some lyrics. Well Vein is a mastermind in what is called producing. He has worked with artists like Ricky Martin, Pitbull & J Balvin to name a few. Make sure to check him out because he's got something for every groove!

Para mi, una buena canción es aquella que te envuelve por completo, no solo por las palabras si no por la música también. Sabes, esa fusión de ritmos que te hace adueñar de la pista o sencillamente relajarte con un buen tema. Os cuento que Vein es una mente maestra en lo que se llama producción. Él ha trabajado con artistas como Ricky Martin Pitbull & J Balvin entre otros. Denle un vistazo por que él tiene algo para todos los gustos!

Vein: Estoy aquí apoyando a mi amigo Fresh KQ. Soy muy buen amigo de los organizadores de los premios de Latin Mix y siempre los apoyo si estoy en la misma ciudad.
Bionica: Has trabajado con muchos artistas. Cual es el próximo proyecto que estas actualizando?
Vein: Bueno, le hice la producción al ultimo sencillo de Ricky Martin–Mr. Put It Down. Un saludo para él por darme tantas oportunidades. Y ahora mismo, yo estoy trabajando en mi disco. Esperan las colaboraciones mas grandes. Lo mío siempre va ser mucha diversión, y energía para pasarla bien.
Bionica: Que consejo le das a esas personas que desean hacer la transición de productor hace artista?
Vein: Asegura te de amar lo que haces por que vas a escuchar mucho la palabra 'no' antes de que te den por lo menos un 'si'. Pero sabes, hace falta un si mil veces para poder hacer algo así que poco a poco, paso a paso.

Napoles-Fragment Muzik

After meeting with Napoles, I was just taken aback by this man's honorable humility. He is a talented producer and writer that has worked with an array of artists such as that Bronx heartthrob–yes ladies, I'm talking about Prince Royce. His hard work has earned him Grammy nominations and his encouraging spirit shared some very valuable advice for anyone looking to have a career in music.

Cuando conocí a Napoles, quede totalmente impresionada con su humildad. El es un productor talentoso que has trabajado con un sin fin de artistas como el guapo del Bronx–así es chicas, con Prince Royce. Napoles ha recibido nominaciones al Grammy por su gran trabajo y esfuerzo y comparte con nosotros el mejor consejo para aquel que desea tener una carrera musical.

Bionica: Napoles, you are a musical genius. What advice do you have for those musicians that are starting out and really want to stand out? What's something that you would say they have to have?

Napoles: Well the first thing is to be yourself. Many times people are at a place in which they say 'I want to be different' and they end up being like everyone else. Be yourself and leave your ego at the door. In this industry, in this world, you have to be able to let yourself be guided by those that know more than you. And keep going for your dream.

Nayi-Explicame

A ver, el chico es dulce, romántico, alto y canta bonito. Pero les cuento chicas que me parece que Nayi ya tiene pareja pero al igual podemos escuchar sus canciones que enamoran tanto. Tuve el honor de escuchar Explicame en vivo y me quede boquiabierta. Unas palabras con Nayi sobre eso...

Ok so he's sweet, romantic, tall and he could sing. However ladies I do believe this man is already taken, but that's ok because Nayi can still make us swoon with his smooth songs. I had the pleasure of hearing his song Explicame live and I was totally floored. Here's what he had to say about it…

Nayi: I'm from Barquisimento, the city of music (of Venezuela). Nayi is fresh, love, humility, charisma… I have a new song called Explicame. My video which was filmed here in NY is already out. I'm happy to celebrate with Latin Mix and everyone that's here like El Chevo, I just saw El Chevo not too long ago.
Bionica:  Can you sing a little of Explicame?

Nayi: Of course. Can you explain–is it your eyes or your smile? Can you explain if it's your hair that hypnotizes… Just hear me out, don't be afraid if I steal a kiss. It's just that I'm so into you, crazy, crazy over you–Venezuela! You got it baby!
Bionica: What inspired this song? What inspires you to write?
Nayi: I wrote this song 2 years ago in Miami. Well, this happens to everyone. When you get somewhere and then you find that person. The guy or the girl that you like and makes you nervous and you don't know how to approach them. Then all of a sudden your sitting down and that person is next to you, the lights go on and you say to yourself 'Oh my God. What do I do now? Explain this to me…' And the song stemmed from there.
Bionica: Tell me a little bit about your style. You're very trendy, I love it!
Nayi: My style, my style is very chill. I'm here with my friends, in family.
Bionica: Who are you wearing today?
Nayi: I''ve got Nike, H&M, Zara, Diesel…We're getting there little by little.
Bionica: Me encanta. Ay Vamos like J Balvin.
Nayi: Nayi. You got it baby!

Latin Mix Awards In NYC

¡Flashback friday! 

Tulile

El pasado Julio, tuve el honor de ir a los premios Latin Mixx de Nueva York en el cual junto a un foro de DJs, se apremian personas que han dejado una huella en la industria musical, así como los artistas, empresarios, productores y DJs entre otros que influyen mucho en las tendencias musicales. Esto se llevo a cabo en Stage 48 donde se pudo disfrutar de la música freestyle en vivo de George Lamond, Judy Torres y K Seven quienes le presentaron el premio de gran logro a Sal Abbatiello–el hombre por la cual podemos disfrutar de la música hip-hop y freestyle! Aquí os dejo con algunas entrevistas...

This past July, I had the honor of attending the New York Latin Mixx Awards which along with a DJ forum, honors those that have made their special mark in the music industry such as artists, impresarios, producers, influencers and djs among others. It was hosted at Stage 48 where guests were able to enjoy a freestyle performance by George Lamond along with Judy Torres and K Seven who presented the Life Time Achievement award to Sal Abbatiello–the man responsible for hip-hop music and that good ol' freestyle dance! Some interviews below.

Su nombre es Sal Abbatiello y al descubrir ese sonido diferente hace unos años en las calles del Bronx, NY, él se convirtió en el papá de lo que es el hip-hop. Sal es el dueño de algunas de las discotecas mas cotizadas de la ciudad de Nueva York, como Disco Fever que fue parte de la película Krush Groove del 1985. De una y mil maneras, el Señor Abbatiello ha sido una de esas personas clave en influenciar la musica que escuchamos a diario.
His name is Sal Abbatiello and he just happens to be hip-hop's big poppa after finding the movement some time ago in the Bronx, NY. Owning some of the biggest night clubs in the city, including Disco Fever which was in the 1985 movie Krush Groove, Sal Abbatiello can't help it but be a fundamental piece in what shaped the music that we listen to today. 

Sal Abbatiello

Bionica: Se puede decir que eres el primer presidente musical de lo que es la música hip-hop. Que fue lo que te inspiró en crear este genero/movimiento musical.
Sal Abbatiello: Bueno, yo soy del Bronx y fue allí donde nació el hip-hop. En el 1976, vi como Grand Master Flash estaba conectado a un bombillo y me dije 'seria mejor llevar esto para dentro (bajo un techo)'. Era algo para los jóvenes de la generación urbana y al llevarlo para dentro, se pudo exponer para todo el mundo por que ya en ese entonces la gente sabía que tenia un lugar donde lo podían ver todos los días. De ahí descubrí a Grand Master Flash, Run DMC, Russel Simmons, los Beastie Boys, Kurtis Blow…He sido muy bendecido y de ahí me conecté con la generación del Freestyle, antes conocida como Latin hip-hop. Eso fue algo que también descubrí en las calles con mi conocimiento del hip-hop, y todo fue en el Boogie Down.
Bionica: Y usted, también es músico?
Sal Abbatiello: He escrito y producido algunas canciones, pero mi enfoque es ser promotor de conciertos.
Bionica: Como se siente al recibir este premio? Es un gran honor.
Sal Abbatiello: Es muy probable que la música sea la mejor terapia del mundo. Y al recibir este premio de gran logro en mi vida, es mostrar el empeño y esfuerzo dedicado tanto a la gente como a la música.
 
Bionica: Cuál es un concejo que le da a todas esas personas empezando su carrera musical?
Sal Abbatiello: Enfoca te en la música que realmente te gusta y sigue la. Se le leal a tu genero musical. Estudia bien el arte, trata aprender a tocar algún instrumento, aprende a escribir, estudia ingeniería…y encuentra tu propósito. Tal vez no seas un productor pero puede ser que tu talento este en escribir o ser ingeniero. Hay muchas cosas que se pueden hacer en este negocio. Se trata en encontrar lo que es adecuado para ti.
Bionica: Cuál fue el reto que mas lo ayudó?
Sal Abbatiello: Presentarle esta música tan distinta al mundo, por que en aquel entonces todo era cantado. Luego llegaron estos muchachos que le estaban hablando al micrófono y la generación de antes que era Motown, Jazz, Frank Sinatra…ellos no lo consideraban música de verdad. Romper esa barrera al ellos hacer rap y que lo consideren como música, que ahora es uno de los géneros mas grandes del mundo–eso es algo. Creo que lo que ellos vieron en el hip-hop, fue que unía a todas las personas de un lugar. Era el único tipo de música en la cual el DJ podía hablar encima de la pista. Cuando él les pedía que alzaran las manos y que las movieran de lado a lado, eso hacia que todos lo que estuvieran allí se convirtieran en uno. En cambio antes tocaban una canción no había ese tipo de conexión con desconocidos. No había interacción entre el uno y el otro. Esta música te conectaba con todo aquel que estuviera ahí.

Guz-Pillz-Sal

Que es un trail blazer? Será el auto ese que es regio para conducir en todo tipo de terreno? No, bueno si, pero no en este caso. En este caso nos referimos a Gustavo Lopez, executivo de Universal Music Latin Entertainment, cuyo desempeño al llevar la música latina otro nivel, le galardonó este gran premio.
Tuve el placer de hablar un poco con Gustavo y esto fue lo que él dijo.

What exactly is a trail blazer? Is it that all terrain/weather vehicle that you can't be with out? No, well actually yes it is, just not in this case. In this case it happens to refer to Gustavo Lopez, the Universal Music Latin Entertainment exec whose efforts in taking latin music to the next level have earned him this award. I had the pleasure of chatting with Gus, and this is what he said…

Bionica: From what I understand, you used to work at a cd store.
Gustavo Lopez: Correct.
Bionica: And after working a while, if I'm not mistaken, you wanted to leave Universal and you were told "No, we're going to give you a record label to take care of." which goes to say that you know a little bit about something.
Gustavo Lopez:
Bionica: How did you feel when you were told "Look, this is yours. Do what ever you want with it.'?
Gustavo Lopez: You know, it was a very interesting moment in my career because it wasn't something that I was expecting, especially when you're unsure and have the doubt that you may not be able to do the same things as some of the big execs of the industry. I was only 32 years old at the time. It was an incredible challenge and an opportunity that I thank God for being able to make the most of it.
Bionica: What's the best tip or lesson that you've gotten from your experiences.
Gustavo Lopez: You have to keep trying and stay positive without going over anyone. When you have faith in what you believe and perservere, things will happen. Your mistakes and hardships in life are the things that will teach you to be better.
Bionica: How do you feel receiving the Trail Blazer award today?
Gustavo Lopez: You know, I have a lot of respect for DJs. I'm not a musician but I was a DJ at one point and not a very good one. I love this atmosphere, simply because I find that the DJs are the first to know about what's going on out there. For me, It's an honor and I've been supporting Latin Mixx ever since I learned about it 5 years ago. This is something that also makes me proud and I give the DJs all the credit. There are times where they're working someplace at 8 in the evening and they keep on going to 4 or 5 in the morning. It's a lot more work than what people might think.

Special thanks to The Brand Phoenix

Thank you so much to everyone for the interviews! 

¡Salsa Salsa Salsero!

Al escuchar música buena, no hay de otra mas que perderse en ella. Pero me parece que ese es el propósito–de disfrutar tanto de ella que nos volvemos uno. Sencillamente un cuerpo musical.
Eso es exactamente lo que pasa cuando escuchas a Marlow Rosado junto a Larry Harlow. Hay una calidad épica, tanto para el bailador y para  aquel que escucha.
Y el 10 de Marzo, la ciudad de Miami va sentir la ricura del nuevo disco de Rosado titulado Harlow Marlow Volume 1 en El Tucán! No se olviden de llevarse sus zapatos pa'l bailador cuando estén allí ;)

When you hear good music, you can't help but get lost in it. More often than not, I think that's the point–to enjoy it so much that you become one with it. Simply, a body of music.
Well that's what it feels like listening to Marlow Rosado in collaboration with Larry Harlow. It's an epic quality for the dancer and listener.
And on March 10, Miami is going to feel the groove of Rosado's new album Harlow Marlow Volume 1at El Tucán. Just don't forget your dancing shoes while you're there ;)

The album will be available in March via Itunes & Amazon.
