“It’s been a really quick year and a lot of good things have been happening this year and the year’s not over!,” said Johnny Sky in an interview with Press Pass Latino.

“There’s still a lot to come and hopefully by the grace of God all of these good things start picking up real quick.”

“My next stop is New York…I haven’t been home in a while and I’m going for a signing so I’m super excited,” he said. “My fans are welcome to come, kiss me, love me, harass me, do whatever you want, just be there, I want to have some fun.”

He affectionately refers to his fans as #Skylators and though, he can’t pick a personal favorite from his self-titled album, Johnny Sky, he confesses “Quiereme” is the song fans can’t seem to get out of their heads and love the most. Something which he definitely doesn’t mind.

“Everybody’s loving that song!,” said Sky, whose parents are from Dominican Republic. “I’m glad they’re loving the song so much because I really enjoy performing it.”
