Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical inspiration comes from a mix of real-life struggles, ambition, and artists who turned pain into purpose. Growing up between Las Vegas and Stockton, I saw both the beauty and the dark side of life, and I use that to fuel my music. Artists like Drake inspire me because of how he turned emotional honesty and versatility into global success. But I also look up to underground voices like Chuckyy, who keep it raw and relatable. My goal is to blend those worlds
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizens Festival would be life-changing. It would put me on a global stage alongside some of the most respected names in music and activism. That kind of exposure could introduce my sound and story to millions of new fans around the world. More than that, being part of a movement focused on real-world change aligns with my purpose—using my music to speak for people who feel unheard.
What would you do with $50,000?
If I had $50,000, I’d invest it straight into my music career. First, I’d build a professional brand—studio time, mixing, mastering, and visuals that match the level of my talent. I’d fund music videos, photo shoots, and promo to get my music seen and heard on a bigger scale. I’d also invest in a marketing team to help me reach new audiences and push my songs to the industry. At the same time, I’d set some aside to help my family.
