“I turn truth into rhythm, pain into poetry, and vision into sound. I’m not chasing hits — I am the blueprint.”

Who or what is your musical inspiration?
One of my main musical inspirations are live music performances in a broad sense. To be able to construct a show, perform released and/or unreleased music, and engage with an audience inspires me to cultivate my music in a unconventional, engaging way. There are too many acts to name, but I definitely follow pgLang as a musical inspiration.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
It would catapult me into a stratosphere of opportunities and to be able to connect with a community that revolves around organic art. I'm always looking for opportunities to showcase my gifts, and to take this opportunities and branch out into other passionate fields outside of music.
What would you do with $50,000?
I have a vast amount of goals. But I'm most likely taking a portion and reinvesting into my brand: Clothing brand, musical studio equipment, resources for marketing. After that, I'll be investing into philanthropic work by creating scholarships for students who want to get into business/entrepreneurship, medical, law, and STEM programs. As well as establishing systems to help low income communities.
