Octavio Cuadras:
Hi, I’m Octavio Cuadras and I’ll be Fishing for Questions. Look me in the eyes. This one.
“Name a time in which you were excited to see an artist.” Wow. I swear it was yesterday. I wanted to meet Arcángel, but I couldn’t. I had work in Los Angeles, so I couldn’t make it. I got here today. But well, I was really excited. I thought, “We’re going to be at the same event.” But it didn’t happen, but I know it will happen soon.
The next one is: “What is the craziest show you have ever had?” Wow, I don’t know. Look, this is true, when I was 12 years old, I started working in music. I started very young. So my cousins played band instruments, trombone and trumpet, and I played the drums with buckets. So we were called from my house, we went right away, and they were cooking, that was the most exotic show. I was playing the buckets, they were with the trumpets, and people would put money in our cap, and that was my first music salary. It was my first show, so that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever done at a show. They don’t even move when I do this. Like this.
“When was the first time in your career that you thought, ‘I made it’?” Wow. These are very emotional. Honestly, today is a very special day. It’s my first time performing in Vegas. It’s the first time I’ll perform like this, with my entire group.
