You decide who will win $10,000, and perform at Rolling Stone's Future of Music Showcase.
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical aspiration is to be an international classical guitarist and educator. I would also like to create cultural projects around the world to give opportunities to young artist to express their voices and so that music could be easier to achieve. I am not sure what the future holds for me, but I do know that it does not matter what happens or where I end up, I will be playing the guitar.
What message do you try to convey through your music?
I want my audience to connect with the emotional depth of my classical guitar. I consider music to be a universal language that is able to go beyond cultural and language differences.
What would you do with $10,000?
With $10,000 I would like to record music to share with my audience. I would collaborate with other young musicians for them to have the opportunity to express their art as well. I would also use it to promote my culture through my work and maybe invest in live performances to create a space to bring people together through music. For me at the end, it's all about connecting with people and building relationships through the power of music.
