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. Sharing the
stage with him, with his voice and presence leading the crowd, gave me a sense of connection both to the
music and to our roots.
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,
