00:00Vega is everywhere in the charts of billboard. How do you feel?
00:06Very happy, very happy to be part of this carpet too. Very happy and thanking God for everything that is happening.
00:14Two times nominated. You are an emerging artist and you already have two nominations. How do you feel? How did you receive this news?
00:22Well, I didn't expect it. It was a surprise and I'm very happy. He is an artist of revelation and collaboration of the year of Mexican Reggaeton with Luis R.
00:34I don't know if you know that he does Mexican music, corridos, but right now he went viral with Loco, which is a reggaeton song.
00:45Reggaeton? What's going on?
00:49Did you expect to have that success?
00:53The truth is no. It was something very impressive, something that I don't do, but it came out of nowhere and we liked it a lot and it went viral.
01:07Before we let you go, you just released your debut album, Mi Vida, Mi Muerte. There are 21 songs, Leila, and you have collaborations with Peso Pluma, Luis R. Conrique, Javi, Gavito Ballesteros.
01:21All these hitmakers of Mexican music. How do you do that?
01:26Have you noticed that Jessica Royce is an expert in Mexican music?
01:31I do my homework.
01:33No, it's because she's from Billboard. She knows everything about you, so be careful.
01:39I'm very grateful to Billboard, to everyone, to my team for everything we've achieved.
01:45But it's an ambitious album, as you say. How do you do something like that?
01:49Yes, the truth is yes.
01:51How did you do it?
01:52The album is working very well. I made two global debuts. I'm very happy with the whole team, with you too. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and for the time. Thank you very much.
02:02Before we let you go, what do you have on?
02:05This is the DJ. The whole album revolved around this one.
02:12Because of the song Mi Vida, Mi Muerte, which was simple. It came out after Loco.
02:17I had sent him to be the DJ, so I put Mi Vida, Mi Muerte, and I liked the name.
02:23Everything revolved around the skull. That's the cover of the album. It's my face, but with half a skull.
02:30So it was because of the DJ and the song Mi Vida, Mi Muerte.
02:34I love it. Very nice.
02:35Can you sing a little bit of Loco to cheer up the carpet?
02:45Thank you, Nestor.
02:46Thank you, Nestor.
