  "account": "During the Superstar Q&A session at Latin Music Week 2026, Memo Ochoa and Fuerza Regida shared insightful quotes about their careers and personal journeys. Ochoa recounted his humble beginning in soccer, starting with his uncle's coaching and moving to Club América at the tender age of 18. He emphasized the growing responsibilities that came with his success and the weight they carried.\n\nFuerza Regida, on the other hand, spoke about his love for singing, which he attributes to his father. Even as a child, he enjoyed singing, thanks to his dad's talent. His first song, \"Sonora y sus Ojazos Negros,\" was inspired by his dad, and it marked the beginning of his journey. Fuerza Regida became a hit with his fourth or fifth song, proving that consistent effort is crucial for success.\n\nRegarding his record label, Street Mob Records, Fuerza Regida highlighted that every artist is unique, and they all have different working styles. While some might believe that signing with a label or creating a viral song guarantees success, he stressed the importance of hard work and persistence.\n\nMemo Ochoa's success mantra is that he always believed in himself, even when others doubted him. He started his soccer career at 15 and reinvented himself as a professional goalkeeper. He acknowledged the sacrifices required to achieve his goals and the importance of staying resilient amidst the pressures of success.\n\nFuerza Regida has had a remarkable career, with 12 Billboard Latin Music Award nominations. This year, Peso Pluma leads the list of finalists with 17 entries, followed by Tito Double P (15), Fuerza Regida (12), Karol G (9), Prince Royce (8), and Bad Bunny (7). Additionally, Cristian Castro will receive the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award, Rosalía will be honored with the Hall of Fame Award, and Rubén Blades with the Billboard Icon Award.\n\nThe 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, hosted by Carmen Villalobos and Javier Poza, will air live on Oct. 22 on Telemundo, Peacock, Universo, and the Telemundo app.",
