Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
From MJ and Prince, Pac and Biggie, All Time Low and Panic!, Johnny Cash and Jimi, to Queen and Burna Boy, I’m a blend of everything I’ve experienced resulting in the style called “Gumbo” coined by the homie Zeus Rebel Waters. My sound is like a blend of XXXTENTACION meets Daniel Caesar.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizens Festival would allow me to share my art, music, and passions with a wider audience; hopefully inspiring people to be their most authentic selves and shoot for the stars!
What would you do with $50,000?
Other than supporting the costs to make more music and add visuals to the cinematic quality I envision, I have a few business ideas I already have marketing strategies for ready to help support underrepresented communities.
