In a recent Interview Magazine cover story, the Grammy-decorated singer Bad Bunny confessed his admiration for cooking as a creative outlet. The Puerto Rican sensation revealed an alternative path he might have taken if superstardom hadn't knocked on his door. "I viewed cooking as an art form," he divulged, "Recipes exist, yet there's a canvas for inventing unique dishes, for concocting flavors that are entirely one's own."

However, Bad Bunny confessed that music has always been his heart's desire, a dream he nurtured from a young age. "I longed for this career so deeply," the "I Like It" hitmaker confessed. "After school, I'd rush home to my computer, crafting beats and honing my skills in music production. I'd often ponder, 'If this isn't my destiny, I'm clueless as to what I'd do, as I have no other aspirations.'"

Acknowledging the competitive nature of the music industry, he emphasized the importance of realism. He balanced his aspirations with practicality, working a job and pursuing higher education while chasing his musical dreams. "I refused to be complacent, assuming success would fall into my lap," the "Me Porto Bonito" artist added. "I had a gig bagging groceries at Econo to cover the bare essentials like gas."

Bad Bunny's unwavering dedication has indisputably led to his triumph. He boasts an impressive tally of 12 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Tití Me Preguntó," "Dakiti," "Mia," and "Moscow Mule." His musical journey has been further adorned with three Grammy Awards and seven Latin Grammy Awards. Last October, he released his fifth studio album, "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana," further cementing his place in music history.
