When Volleyball Meets Music: Paola Egonu and J Balvin in Conversation
J Balvin: Hey, Paola! The queen of the court herself. How’s life smashing those volleyballs?
Paola Egonu: Hey, J! Coming from you, the prince of reggaeton, that’s high praise! Life’s been hectic but awesome. Just finished a crazy season – feeling on top of the world.
J Balvin: I bet! Your spikes are just as killer as my beats. Speaking of which, do you listen to music to get pumped before a game?
Paola Egonu: Oh, absolutely! Your tracks, especially. “Mi Gente” always gets me in the zone. It’s amazing how music can boost my energy. What about you? Any sports you follow?
J Balvin: Definitely! I’ve always been a big soccer fan. But after seeing how intense volleyball can get, especially watching you play, I’ve got a new appreciation for it. Do you have a ritual before hitting the court?
Paola Egonu: I do, actually. I like to visualize the match, imagine every play, and how I’d respond. It helps me stay super focused. I also have this lucky bracelet I wear. Do you have any pre-concert rituals?
J Balvin: Oh, for sure. I meditate and do some breathing exercises to calm the nerves. And my sneakers – they’ve gotta be just right! By the way, any plans for collaborating with sportswear brands since you’re like a volleyball icon now?
Paola Egonu: Funny you mention that! I’ve been in talks with a few brands. I really want to create gear that’s stylish yet functional for athletes. You know how important it is to feel good in what you wear. What about you and fashion?
J Balvin: Love it. I’ve been collaborating with a few brands, too. Bringing my vibes into fashion is a whole new creative outlet. So, if you weren’t a volleyball superstar, what do you think you’d be?
Paola Egonu: Oh, that’s a tough one. Probably something creative – maybe a singer or a writer. I love storytelling. And you, if music wasn’t your thing?
J Balvin: I’d probably be an artist. Painting, designing – anything that lets me express myself. But hey, we’re living our dreams, right?
Paola Egonu: Absolutely! Living our best lives and inspiring others along the way. Here’s to breaking boundaries and following our passions!
J Balvin: Cheers to that, Paola! Keep smashing those goals, on and off the court.
Paola Egonu: And you keep making those beats that move the world! Until next time, my friend.
