I’ve always been the outsider: offbeat, overlooked, underestimated. But raw, unique talent speaks loud. I don’t wait, I’m what’s next.

Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I’m inspired by innovators and rule-breakers: Stevie Wonder, Nirvana, Adele, Debussy…, artists and storytellers who make you feel something real. I’m also deeply inspired by film: how music and image can merge to move people. My sound is a reflection of everything I’ve felt, feared, and fought for. I create to connect, challenge, and give voice to what often goes unspoken.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen would be a turning point in my life. This festival would allow me to stand alongside incredible artists for a meaningful cause. I don’t make music to fit a mold: I create to awaken, question, and shake things up. This stage is more than a dream; it’s the perfect place to raise my voice and prove that raw, honest, and bold artistry belongs.
What would you do with $50,000?
As an international student at Berklee studying Film Scoring, I would use the $50,000 to help fund the rest of my education, produce my next EP, and support a charity close to my heart. Berklee has opened doors, shaped me as an artist, and given me purpose. This support would allow me to keep learning, creating, and building a career that carries both artistic and social impact.
