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 draw inspiration from my faith, Irish roots, and life’s journey. Since returning to my Christian faith in 2020, my music reflects hope, healing, and my walk with God. Growing up in Ireland, Celtic sounds and storytelling shaped my voice. I write openly about mental health, using music to bring comfort and truth. Influenced by artists like Michael Jackson and Garth Brooks, I aim to sing with soul, honesty, and purpose always staying true to who I am.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a huge milestone in my career. It would give me the chance to share my music with a global audience while standing for causes I deeply believe in. I’ve always used my voice to bring hope, healing, and truth and being part of a festival that unites people for change aligns perfectly with my mission. It would open doors for new collaborations and help amplify my message on a much bigger stage.
What would you do with $50,000?
If I won the $50,000, I’d invest it directly into creating music that makes an impact … recording, producing, and promoting songs that speak life, truth, and healing. I’d also use part of it to support mental health initiatives and faith-based outreach, causes close to my heart. This would allow me to reach more people, both through music and meaningful action, staying true to my mission of using my gifts for something greater than myself.
