I haven't had the most lucrative career. If I'm going to be completely honest, I'm a one-hit wonder.

I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.

I am not trying to model my career to be a one-hit wonder.

I'm representing for Latinos all over the world. ... This ain't a one-hit-wonder thing. It's just the beginning. And it's a special moment for me and my culture.

This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.

So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all.
