Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

Fame wise, talents such as Ariana Grande with insane range, Billie Eilish and Finneas with insane visual power, lyrics, and emotional melodies, and catchy hitmakers like Ryan Tedder and Tate McRae are my current inspirations. However, my father is my real musical inspiration, because theres not a moment where hes not dropping everything to do all he can for me and my career - with life threatening injuries and all, theres never a moment where he didnt put me first and want this more than life.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would launch my career to new heights—introducing my music to a wider audience and attracting industry collaborators. It’s a powerful space to network, learn from fellow artists, and grow through shared advice. More than exposure, it’s a chance to live a lifelong dream and use my voice to create something bigger than myself. This isn’t just a career move—it’s a moment where art meets impact, and I become more than simp


What would you do with $50,000?

I would invest it into my career. For example, I would use it for advertising myself and my music to individuals as well as industry professionals. I would use it to create memorable, stand out music videos for my songs; to hire band members to play large venues more consistently. I would use it to hire more experienced industry members to provide their song-creating advice in order to make new sounding songs that either get stuck in peoples head or create a lyrical impact, a lyrical punch.
