Well, it was the single for the record so it opened up a lot of doors. Instead of coming out with a record and being more of an underground band and selling 30,000 to 50,000 on your first record we were able to sell 150,000 on our first record and that’s just for the U.S.! Worldwide over 450,000, it was a good set up. It definitely set us up for the second record.

I think that music in general does, 'cause we listen to the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Barry White. We listen to a lot of different bands... Michael Jackson, Sade. And then we want to listen to the heavy shit. We listen to System of a Down, Drowning Pool.

I was 16 years old and I put my first record out when I was 17. I started a band and basically sent a couple of demos out. I got signed three weeks later, and I was in the studio two months later. So I played drums for 11 months before I did my first record. It was in my cards, I think. It was in my destiny.

Yes. I was born in Lima, Peru. Cris is born in Brazil. Roger was born in uptown New York, but he's half-Dominican, half-Ecuadorian. Lazaro was born in New York. He's Dominican. My other guitar player is Brazilian born. Marc was born in Jersey, but he's Italian. So... United Nations!

I'd like to tour with Linkin Park. I'd like to record with P.O.D. We're talking right now with a couple of producers. We're talking to Terry Date, who's done Pantera, Staind... everybody... Deftones. He's an amazing producer.

Music is therapeutic, but more than music being therapeutic, being on tour is therapeutic. You think a lot about what you don't have. You think about being alone in your house. You think about being with your loved ones, being able to break bread with your family. And you miss a lot of that shit and you appreciate the shit out of it when you're home. And then when you're home, you miss being on the road. You appreciate things more.
