I’ve put in the time, led with love, and kept it real. My sound is original, my message is purpose. I’m next because I’m ready.

Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Life inspires me—simple as that. Every win, every loss, every random conversation with a stranger ends up in a verse. But at the core, it’s the connection with people that fuels me. I’m inspired by real moments, not just melodies. I make music that hits the heart but still knocks in the headphones. It’s therapy, energy, and expression—all rolled into one.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
It’s the kind of stage that turns momentum into movement. I’ve spent over a decade sharpening my sound—now it’s about scale. Performing at Global Citizen would take my message from local to global and help me reach the folks who need to hear it most. I’m not chasing fame—I’m building legacy. And this platform would supercharge everything I’ve been working toward.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d flip that 50K into longevity. First step? Dial in marketing, branding, and visuals so the music moves with strategy, not just vibes. I have the right team, I need to invest in tools that stretch the reach, and make sure everything I drop makes noise. I know how to create impact—this would help me scale it, not just for me, but for the people my music speaks to.
