Id been sayingSAYONARAis coming for a long time, he shares.

I ate my sandwich at a deli, trying to see New York, he laughs.

He had been hoping to go shopping but had to rush to sound check.

I gave my credit cards to my friends and I was like Send me pictures just!

But Im going to come back.

It means I can trust my vision.

Ive been doing this for so long and finally, the stars are aligning, in a way.

People are more used to the sound and understanding everything I wanted to do.

He always told me I was a star, Diaz says.

Diaz has more music coming for fans.

For the people who support me, its an interesting time.

Im not going to stop.

I have more tricks up my sleeve.
