Though one day he’d like to be known for his own achievements in music and no longer as the “son of Emmanuel,” Mexican singer Alexander Acha told Efe that he knows he’ll never stop being identified that way because his father is “one of the greats.”

“If he were some insignificant character in the world of music, maybe nobody would say ‘the son of,’ but my dad is one of the greats and so in my lifetime that’s never going away,” the 27-year-old artist said in an interview with Efe.

So, the young musician acknowledged, even though he achieves success and “gets to be even greater” than Emmanuel, it won’t matter, he’ll always be known as the son.
