Self-made artist, producer, and engineer. I craft hits from pain, style from silence, and built my empire with zero co-signs.

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 inspiration came from South Dallas. I used to skip school just to be around the sound, the culture, the pain in that southern music. I started as a producer, but when I lost everything, I turned my own voice into the story.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen would be more than a stage — it’d be a statement. I come from a place where most people never get seen or heard. This platform would amplify my voice, my story, and the southern roots that shaped me. It would show the world that real music, real pain, and real hunger still break through — even without a machine behind you.
What would you do with $50,000?
If I won $50,000, I wouldn’t just use it for me — I’d use it to give back to the people who believed in me first. I’d upgrade my studio, drop the best visuals, and push my music the right way — but I’d also give back to a few real ones who voted, shared, and stuck with me when nobody else did. This isn’t just about winning — it’s about showing what happens when we rise together
