Built from pain, made to make hits. Voice of the struggle, sound of now. Truth in bars, heart in every beat. Hood soul, hitmaker energy.

Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My inspiration comes from the streets I grew up in and the resilience of my people. Artists like Nipsey Hussle and Kendrick showed me how to turn pain into purpose. But most of all, it’s my kids—I want to build a legacy they can be proud of.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would amplify my voice and mission—bridging real stories from underserved communities to a global stage. It would push my movement forward and create life-changing exposure.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d invest in my music career—studio time, visuals, touring, and merch—to grow my brand and platform. I’d also fund youth workshops to teach creative expression and give others from my background the blueprint to dream bigger.
