Panel at Latin Music Week

Jay Wheeler, Zhamira, Jessi Uribe and Paola Jara discussed family life and music challenges during a panel at Billboard Latin Music Week on October 21, 2026.

Touring With Children

Zhamira shared that her daughter Aiunii is the first baby 'canceled' on social media for saying 'mamahuevo' and enjoys repeating what her dad says.

“Aiunii is the first baby to be 'canceled' on social media because she says a bad word, which is mamahuevo”

Creating Music Together

Jay Wheeler and his wife bond over music but face challenges, while Jessi Uribe and Paola Jara struggle with different approaches to song interpretation.

“The hardest part about making music with Paola is that we’re so different. I really study a song and look for the underlying intention, ranchera music is all about interpretation, but Pao is blessed with a beautiful voice, yet she doesn’t study the songs, and that frustrates me.”

Children and Social Media

Zhamira explained that her daughter Aiunii repeats what her dad says and enjoys making people laugh, while Jay Wheeler emphasized being present for his daughter after his parents' divorce.

“When my parents got divorced, it was really hard for me. That’s why I make sure to be present. I’d rather look bad in the eyes of the world than let my daughter down.”
