Because I write songs that cut through the noise—truthful, melodic, and addictive. Pop with a pulse. Soul with a spine.

Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

My inspiration comes from the tension between beauty and truth—Dylan, Curtis Mayfield, The Clash, and the ocean at dusk. I’m drawn to artists who had something to say and the guts to say it with style. I write from the marrow, chasing melodies that haunt and words that sting, aiming for that rare alchemy where meaning and movement meet.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

Performing at Global Citizen would amplify not just my music, but my mission—to make meaningful art that moves people and stands for something. It’s a stage where conscience meets culture, and I’d use it to rally melody with message, proof that pop can still punch up. It’s not just exposure—it’s alignment with a cause, a chance to reach hearts tuned to change.


What would you do with $50,000?

I’d alleviate the suffering of perpetual poverty—the great sacrifice I’ve made in service of my art—and reinvest every cent into the music. This isn’t about luxury; it’s about liberation. With $50,000, I’d buy back time, peace, and the tools to make a new album—fueling the kind of uncompromising, resonant work that only comes from living on the edge for something real.
