As a global citizen, I turn tradition into rhythm and rhythm into unity. My sound brings the world to one dance floor.

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 ancestral rhythms, cultural traditions, and native instruments—sounds rooted in nature, spirit. I believe music and art are powerful tools to unite people, and I use them to connect cultures and tell shared stories through sound.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would amplify my mission—uniting cultures through music—and elevate my voice on a global stage. It’s a chance to share heritage sounds with the world and inspire deeper connection through rhythm. Also, I’ve just relocated to the US, This opportunity would be a powerful step in building new bridges and reaching wider audiences.
What would you do with $50,000?
Being in NYC, I’ve faced the challenge of sharing my music—many venues rely on agencies or promoters, making it difficult for independent artists to get heard. I would use the $50,000 to open a small bar that doubles as a cultural hub: an open, welcoming space where artists of all kinds can perform, connect, and grow. With over 26 years in the music and hospitality industry, I have the experience to plant the seed and build the partnerships needed to bring this vision to life.
