MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: I started my first band when I was about 14/15 years old. We had a show once at this little teen center called Ground Zero. Something weird happened and the mics cut out completely during our last song. The show was sold out and our fans were singing so loud that we were able to finish the song from start to finish with only them singing. It was probably one of the most humbling moments of my life and that’s when I realized I wanted to pursue music as a career.

I WROTE THIS SONG: “Find Love” was the first Prince of Spain song we had ever written. The song is about finding and loving yourself. I remember being a kid and never really worrying about the outcome of anything, all that ever mattered was going out and doing whatever it was that made me happy. I have seen so many people in my life lose themselves and forget that the first step to being truly happy is loving yourself and loving what you do. This song was meant to be a reminder.
