00:00You look beautiful.
00:02Thank you. I'm excited to be here with you all on this beautiful night.
00:05Excited? Tell me, what are you wearing first of all?
00:09I'm wearing a suit, I think it's YSL.
00:11But now I found a tank top that I liked a lot.
00:14I said, it's going to be hot, Miami, rich, so let's go with this.
00:18And you know what? Your tattoos are almost part of your outfit.
00:24Yes, they are more than my mother would like me to have.
00:27But I'm excited to have the freedom of expression in all its forms, in art.
00:31And I think tattoos are very important to me.
00:33It shows.
00:34It shows.
00:35No, but I say it in a good way, it shows.
00:37Because every tattoo is what you carry with you forever, right?
00:41Absolutely, amen. Thank you very much.
00:43It means a lot to me and I'm glad you like it.
00:45Are any of those tattoos, the visible ones at least, dedicated to your mom?
00:48I have a few, I have a few.
00:50The truth is that I think the first one, so that she doesn't scold me, was my mother's date.
00:54From then on, I took a ride.
00:56But yes, I have quite a few.
00:58I have about three or four that are dedicated to her and what it means to me, obviously.
01:02Adriel Favela, nominated tonight. Tell us about that nomination.
01:06Happy, happy in life to have a nomination with a group called Grupo Duelo,
01:10who are really people I admire and respect for a long time.
01:13And what better way to enjoy Miami, with people as beautiful as you,
01:17with all the colleagues that we normally don't see, than to come and hopefully win it.
01:21Who knows? Here we are.
01:22And also supporting Karim, who comes with a lot of awards and I hope he wins all of them.
01:26One of the most nominated, Karim León, that's right.
01:28Greetings.
01:29We just released a song together.
01:31He's a friend, friend, friend.
01:33Outside of the industry, he's a very good friend of mine, so I'm very happy to see what he's achieving.
01:36He's a genius.
01:37Before we let you go, what has been the best advice Karim has given you?
01:40There are several.
01:42The truth is, one of them is that I don't care about anything at all.
01:45I think it sounds quite silly, but at the end of the day,
01:48with the magnifying glass above you, the comments come to you, you know?
01:51We're human, we're vulnerable, it's very difficult.
01:54And I think one of the things I admire the most about him is precisely that, the real thing.
01:57The real thing always prevails, and he's a very real person.
02:00And I think that opens doors for you here in China.
02:03Thank you very much, Javier.
02:04Good luck today.
