Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I draw inspiration from life and a mix of genres. System of a Down is my favorite band, but I also grew up on Queen, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Tupac, Biggie, Brotha Lynch, Big L, and SPM. My biggest inspiration, though, is my parents—both touring musicians. Despite financial struggles, they pursued their passion, and now I’m working to succeed not just for myself, but to support them too.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen Festival would be a major notch in my belt on the road to becoming a household name. I’m versatile across genres and can fill any performance slot needed. With a growing social media following, this opportunity would boost my credibility, expand my reach, and help me earn respect from both fans and peers in higher places. It’s the kind of moment that could truly shift my career.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d reinvest it straight into my music career and my family. I’d upgrade my studio equipment, fund visuals and marketing for my album rollout, and push my brand to a global level. I’d also use it to help support my parents, who sacrificed everything to give me a shot at this. This wouldn’t be spending—it’d be planting seeds for a future I’ve worked my whole life for.
