Zazueta talks about his time on La Academia

The singer became nostalgic when the topic of La Academia came up. Zazueta recalled and his initial approach to the reality show where he would end up meeting his wife, Melissa Barrera.

«I do remember when I was very ‘morro‘. I was eating in the kitchen of the house after high school, I remember that I saw Yahir in the first season of La Academia and I asked my mother what it was and she told me, she explained that it was a music school and I sort of hooked myself up. I clung on and told her, ‘Someday I’ll be there mom.’ And I did it,” said Zazueta.

Xavier said that throughout his life he has always been a very tenacious person, sticking to his word. He said that when a person is in a reality show they always seek to win, however, he recounts that luck found him when he met Melissa.

“I’m going to say it directly, the best of TV Azteca, of La Academia and in all the years that I was struggling to enter, everything was written, I got to meet my wife and that was the best thing that could have happened to me. Obviously when I left the show, you do feel that you could have given more, but in the end I said, ‘This is a program, well.’ The good stuff is outside, you have to work, it’s what I’ve been doing and thank God we’ve already given several steps,” concluded Zazueta.
