Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I'm inspired by both music and film, with a diverse taste—from indie rock, Hip-Hop to hyperpop and electronic. I blend underground and mainstream sounds, influenced by artists like New Order, The Cure, MGMT, Beach House, Kanye West, LCD SoundSystem, Charli XCX, Fred Again, and Juice Wrld. I’m a magician archetype, leading my audience on a journey of self-discovery. Films like Blade Runner shaped my aesthetic and world-building, fueling a brand rooted in cyberpunk and existentialism.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at a prestigious festival like this would be a powerful step toward my mission: uniting cultures through high-vibration, meaningful music with a modern Gen-Z edge. As a first-generation child of immigrants, I’m driven to represent Southeast Asians, amplify Filipino-American voices, and break into the mainstream with purpose, pride, and lasting impact.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d invest $50,000 into my future, supporting my future family and building a loving home. I’d grow it into multiple income streams, reinvest in my music career, and expand into filmmaking to share meaningful messages with future generations. I’d also give back by supporting my relatives and communities in need in the Philippines.
