7 questions for Feid:
How did you deal with the hard times in your life?
— In the end, these difficult moments are good because everything brings positives. A bad night, a bad time, a bad experience; Walking outside of the comfort zone is uncomfortable, it’s all beautiful. It’s good to laugh or understand after what happened… Well, I never see things coming across as negative, but you try to make positive out of the bad. Let them come over to learn and move on, it’s always good.
What does it mean to you to represent Colombia and Latin America in such a big project?
— It means a lot to me because I’m the face of the Latinos this season of Sprite Limelight. I tried to make it as cool and real as possible to connect with my fans. It’s a very special moment to have a song that speaks about things that are so personal and deep within me, things that I feel, so that people continue to connect with my being. I say they are very well represented.
What did it mean to Ferxxo to have the opportunity to work with Ryan Tedder?
— It was a very special moment that Ryan took the time to visit us while we were in Los Angeles working on our album. Talk to him, share him for a while and realize that he was a super cool, laid back and very easy going person. It was very cool, plus he was responsible for the entire production of the song and embodied the idea we had in mind. Without a doubt, it was very special to work with Ryan, who has a lot of experience, and the result was a very intimate and special piece for the fandom, for the family, for the whole world.
No one talks about the personal cost and sacrifice of moving to Miami. What was it like opening up to this transition in MXfiX G5?
— That was difficult, I don’t talk about it much because I don’t complain about anything that happened to me, but they are moments to live and it’s better to face them in the most positive way, but everyone has stories, very different lives. Listen to the topic to see how it went. The song tells about how my experience was and what I’m living now. From what it was like doing a tour of Latin America, to the disruption due to my motorcycle accident, to the trip to Miami, which was difficult.
How was it for you touring different parts of the world with the Ferxxo Nitro Jam?
It’s a dream we’ve had for a long time. Everything that continues to happen is very crazy as the project continues to grow and people connect, connect with the audience so they sing all the songs, that they dress in green, that they put on their glasses, for all that is crazy I will say that as a fan I have followed many artists throughout my life. From my point of view as a fan what I get from the audience seems very cool what they do for me. It’s a very nice experience!
What keeps you grounded?
— My family, my environment, the people around me. I’m very fond of my mother, my father and my little sister; I talk to them about every decision I have to make. It’s always been like this since I started making music, since I was in school. I talk to them a lot all the time, I’m in a friends-like relationship, apart from being my dads and my sister, I feel like that core is what keeps me going and giving me direction. I have good advisors.
How do you see the impact that Latin American music has?
— It’s getting bigger and bigger, it’s not just people from Latin America who want to hear music in Spanish, it’s already the whole world. I think as people in the United States, Europe and many other continents start to feel identified, the sauce that we add to the music is palpable. Whatever, but it has a very positive effect.
