Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

My inspiration comes from the mission itself. I’m a player in this videogame called life, creating the soundtrack to help others beat their own levels. I mix rock, pop, punk, funk, and disco to awaken emotions and guide feelings. Blink-182 and División Minúscula shaped me, as well as the synth-driven pop of the ‘80s. I sing in Spanish, but music is universal. Each song I write is a new level, an invitation to live, feel, and play without fear.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

Performing at Global Citizen would let more people hear my message: that life is a game, and what many were missing was the right soundtrack. My music, blending Spanish lyrics with, rock, punk, funk, and ‘80s synths, is fuel for emotional missions. My goal is to help players feel, connect, and level up. This stage would show the world that the right song can be the key to unlocking your next move.


What would you do with $50,000?

I’d invest in an actual video game I’m already developing, where each song is a playable level. It lets players explore music emotionally and discover the meaning behind each track. With $50,000, I could accelerate production and bring this vision to life. I’d also tour at least 10 U.S. states, turning each show into a live mission—where sound, story, and emotion merge to help people level up in their own lives
