Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I’m inspired by the places I’ve called home Panama, Idaho, Oklahoma, Florida, Germany, Guam, and Turkey and the emotions I’ve carried through them. My music pulls from real experiences: love, loss, identity, and the quiet moments in between. Artistically, I’m drawn to raw emotion and genre-blending storytellers like Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean, A Tribe Called Quest, Bad Bunny, Rooney, and The Strokes. They’ve all shaped the way I approach sound: honest, evolving, and root
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a major milestone it would amplify my message and music on a global scale. The festival’s mission aligns with why I create to connect, to spark emotion, and to speak to something bigger than myself. Sharing a stage dedicated to change and unity would not only grow my audience, but also deepen the purpose behind my art. It’s more than exposure it’s using music as a bridge between cultures, stories, and impact.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d reinvest directly into my music and passion funding professional production, mixing, mastering, and visuals, and creating high-quality content that reflects the depth of my storytelling. I'd also use it to travel for performances, collaborate with other artists, and bring my music to new audiences while staying true to my roots. Every dollar would fuel growth, expression, and the chance to build something lasting.
