There have always been huge musicians and poets in Uruguay, but Uruguay is a well-kept secret.
When I started to make music at the end of the '90s, I saw myself highly influenced by hip-hop and techno, but I wanted to apply these ideas to something from the local sound; something that had identity, that would say who we were and where we came from.
