Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical inspiration comes from artists like Danity Kane, Toosii, Rod Wave, J.I the Prince of NY, and d4vd. I’m drawn to emotion-driven storytelling and melodic depth, which is why I fuse R&B with indie pop. I love blending vulnerability, catchy hooks, and genre-bending vibes to create a sound that’s uniquely mine—raw, real, and reflective of every artist who’s ever moved me.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a game-changer—it’s not just a stage, it’s a statement. It would amplify my voice to a global audience, align my music with a purpose, and connect me with fans/people worldwide. It’s the kind of platform that could elevate my artistry, expand my reach, and solidify my place in music as someone who uses their sound to inspire and make a difference.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d invest directly into my music—building my brand, expanding my fanbase through visuals, promotion, and quality production. I’d also give back to my family and fans, who’ve supported me unconditionally since day one. This isn’t just about me—it’s about uplifting the people who believed in me before the spotlight.
