Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Lil Wayne inspired me to start creating my own music—his versatility showed me how powerful self-expression can be. I’m also influenced by soulful artists like Percy Sledge; the melodic riffs and emotion in that era of music help shape my sound. I focus on the layers others might miss—background vocals, subtle instrumentals—and I’m always exploring new flows and fresh ways to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing in a major music contest would boost my exposure, connect me with industry professionals, and put my talent in front of a wider audience. It’s a chance to showcase my unique style, gain real feedback, and build credibility as an artist. Win or not, the experience opens doors, sharpens my performance skills, and proves I can hold my own on a big stage—pushing my career to the next level.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50K, I’d invest in professional studio equipment, quality visuals, and marketing to elevate my sound and reach. I’d build my brand around storytelling, melodic detail, and creative flow. Funds would also go toward collaborations, live performances, and building a platform that highlights my unique ear for background sounds and versatile delivery.
