I died to my old life and came back chosen. This isn’t talent—it’s a calling. Miss this, and you miss a movement that only I can lead.

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 music is purpose-driven. I create to heal—myself and others. It’s never about fame or trends, only about making a real impact. If a song can comfort someone, give them hope, or help them feel seen, that’s why I do it. Music is my way of turning pain into power and creating connection. I’m here to make change through sound, emotion, and truth. Anything outside of that has nothing to do with why I make music.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Choosing me means choosing healing. I had no family as a child, built one, and lost everything. I was blind—now I see. My music is born from survival, from pain transmuted into purpose. On that stage, I won’t just perform—I will bleed truth. I am here to set people free, because missing my story means letting the world carry pain it was meant to release. This is more than music. This is a global awakening.
What would you do with $50,000?
Choosing me means choosing global healing. I’ve lived the pain—no family, trauma, blindness, restoration. Now I turn pain into purpose. My dream is a music therapy school where clients tell their story, process it in therapy, then record it as a song. From pain to power, from silence to sound. Performing on that stage helps me build that space—where true healing begins, and where no one’s pain ever goes unheard again.
