Blessd on Fatherhood: "Something I Always Dreamed Of" and His World Cup Hopes

Blessd says that ever since he was 15 years old, “I used to tell my friends that by 26, I wanted to be a dad.” He also talks about his new private jet, his new album and his hopes for Colombia in the World Cup.

Blessd: Ever since I was 15, I used to tell my friends that by the time I was 26, I wanted to be a dad, because I’m the best man in the world, you know what I mean? Because a lot of that — a lot of things that also happen with the fans and I like to always give myself nicknames, like el Bendito, like … there was also — I called myself for a while that I wasn’t an example of anything and people went crazy with that. So, this time I wanted to give — I wanted to look nicer, so we gave ourselves the best name in the world and people … they liked it.

Ingrid Fajardo I feel like you’re in a phase like this too, like calmer. . .

Blessd Yeah, I’m relaxed, I’m there like enjoying it now. People are understanding that I still consider myself very young, I’m twenty-six years old, so I joke around a lot with everything, I laugh, I enjoy, I have a good time, I don’t pay attention to anyone. So, people have a good time with you and they laugh because at the end of the day we entertain too.

Ingrid Fajardo: And you were working on this album now with Ovy on the Drums?

Blessd: Yeah, my little brother. Yeah.

Ingrid Fajardo: Uh, what was the process of making this album like?

Blessd: No, it was really nice. Ovy for me is the best producer there is in the urban genre. I trusted him a lot, literally. He, he was also the executive producer of the album. So, literally, a masterpiece came out with him. Uh, really good sounds, very global sounds, very worldwide, that right now when the album comes out and you guys are watching it I invite you to go and listen to it.
