Willie then went on to perform on some of the biggest Latin award shows such as: “The Latin Billboards”, “Latin Grammys”, “Premios Juventud” and “Premios Lo Nuestro”.

John King

Always Gonna Be You, the full-length debut from chart-topping country songwriter John King, is an autobiographical album whose songs tell a universal story. For King, that story began in the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia, where he worked construction jobs as a teenager and strummed his first songs around the campfire. He also began dating the woman who would later become his wife. Always Gonna Be You tells the story of that real-life romance, its songs brimming with details we’ve all experienced: the rush of a new relationship, the brink of a breakup, and the thrill of falling in love.
