Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical inspiration comes from artists who write with raw emotion and cinematic honesty — like Florence Welch, Fiona Apple, and Adele — and from my own experiences growing up in Los Angeles.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen would amplify my voice on a worldwide stage, helping me reach people who need the kind of emotional truth I put in my songs. It would be a defining moment — not just for exposure, but for connection.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d invest it directly into my music — producing and releasing my debut project independently, funding visuals that bring the songs to life, and building a platform to reach more people with my story. This would give me full creative control and the power to do it right.
