“I am an artist in training”Juan told The nation in an interview, in which he revealed that he will be part of the Go Broadway academy in the United States. “There is always something new to learn. When I grow up I’m going to act, dance and, above all, sing”, he continued.
And he said: “In July I’m going to study in New York, at the Go Broadway Academy. They are two intense weeks with dance, acting, and singing classes. I am very clear about what I want. AND I’m also really interested in economics, so maybe I’ll do some of that too.”.
“I do very well at school and I am one of the people who is interested in understanding the subject and not just passing it. Economics is the subject with which I connect the most, I am interested in analyzing the world, I read about what is happening in our country“added Otero, about his interest in the economy.
On the other hand, Juan was consulted about his future job, once he finishes high school. “Leaving is not the solution to anything”he responded determinedly.

“But I want to live the experience of being in another country. I consider that the training I need is better outside, although there are good teachers and institutes here. I love my Argentina and it is the best country in the world. As much as there are problems, we have wonderful artists. But the idea is to go to Europe, I want to know the world, travel, do work and travel. And then, I come back,” added the young man.
In turn, Juan said that, despite being 15 years old, he is already clear about what he wants for his future, since he feels like he is actually 18. “I would like to be 18. I know I don’t have to rush and everyone tells me so, but almost all my friends are older; one of my best friends is 21. I can’t be part of the plans they makelike going to parties or to bars for over 18, for example.”

“I have friends my age, but if you give me the choice I prefer older friends because I feel like I understand myself much more, I relate better. When I finish high school I’m going to party every day. “Sometimes it is a little difficult for me to balance everything with my studies,” Otero continued.
And he added: “From Monday to Wednesday I have streaming, I leave school and go straight to the channel, and I get home late because I get up at 6 and maybe I have to study for the next day. On Thursdays I have singing and rehearsing with my school band, and on Fridays I play handball. I don’t have a day to relax, I can’t. I like to feel productive”.

Finally, the young artist also spoke about his relationship with his mother: “It’s great. We both always come home tired, I tell her how my day was and she tells me how hers was. We always have a connection point. Being her son marked me a lot, but it was my choice. I always knew I wanted to be an artist.”.
“I was always proud of the mother I have. I remember that when I went to pick up my brother Toto from school with lipstick on, he got upset, he was embarrassed. And to me, quite the opposite, I loved him. I was always a fan of my old lady and I told the director: ‘Do you know who my mother is? Florencia Peña’. I am a faithful fan of hers, I go to the theater every day to see her, I sing her songs, I follow her in her career. “She always gave me the freedom to choose what I want and the best return I can give her is to accompany her as she accompanies me,” she closed.
