It was the first day of shooting on set in Jamaica. I remember being so nervous because I had never done anything quite like this before. There I was, a small town girl about to shoot a very sexy scene with a superstar, Maluma. I went on set, did as I was told, and the entire production started clapping. The producer said, “One shot, and we’ve got it!” They showed the playback to Maluma and he said, “This girl knows what she is doing. Beautiful!” In that moment, I gained the confidence to get this job done. Being Miss Jamaica and the muse for a project that’s meant to be a love letter to the island is a feeling I can’t quite explain. The experience was unlike anything I had done in this lifetime. Scenes from the videos --“Love” featuring Charly Blacks, “La Burbaja,” “Agua De Jamaica,” and “Desayun-Arte”-- were shot in Jamaica. We shot in the parishes of Portland and Kingston, showcasing the breathtaking views, scenery of the countryside, and the vibrancy and simplicity of the city. The most thrilling aspect of this project was Maluma’s painstaking effort to showcase Jamaica and life on the island. Our culture was respected and the Jamaican people were included in bringing this project to life --from the production teams, dancers, extras, and creatives alike. Being on a production in my country, alongside other Jamaicans and the best teams from Colombia, is a feeling I’ll never forget.
