Premios Juventud Awards

Panama, 2025

Performing on stage at the Premios Juventud Awards in Panama was one of the most exciting and emotional moments of my career. I had just starred in the music video for Bronceador with Maluma, a song that captures the warmth, rhythm, and energy of summer and celebrates joy and connection through music. Watching the video come to life and then stepping onto that live stage felt like a beautiful continuation of that journey.

This was my first time performing in a live television show on this scale, and I felt a mixture of nerves and excitement from the moment I arrived. The Premios Juventud stage is made for celebration, energy, and movement, and performing Bronceador with Maluma brought all of that to life in a vibrant, unforgettable way. The crowd was electric and full of passion, and I will always remember the energy that filled the arena.

What made this performance especially meaningful to me was the pride I felt for Maluma as a fellow Colombian artist. He is someone who has carried the spirit of our country onto the world stage with pride and joy, and to be part of his performance in this moment of celebration felt deeply personal.

Backstage, I felt a strong sense of gratitude for the chance to move between the worlds of fashion and music. Life in front of the camera is something I have grown to love, but being on stage, surrounded by the energy of the audience and the rhythm of the music, brought a new kind of joy and presence that I had never experienced before.

As the music played and we moved together on stage, I felt proud, inspired, and incredibly grateful. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do and why I continue to seek out opportunities that challenge me, excite me, and allow me to share great experiences with others.

With love,
