Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I’m inspired by the pop girls I grew up watching and the ones redefining the genre today. Artists like Florence + the Machine, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and Hayley Williams inspire me so much. I admire how they blend vulnerability with power, experiment sonically, and stay true to their voices. That’s what I aim to do with my music too.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen Festival would be a major step in sharing my music with a worldwide audience that values impact and authenticity. As an Indian-Canadian artist, I want to represent women of color and show that genre-blending, emotionally raw music has a place on global stages. It’s not just about visibility. It’s about using my voice to inspire connection and change.
What would you do with $50,000?
With the promotion from America’s Next Top Hitmaker, $50,000 would let me create my first album, fund visuals, marketing, and a tour to connect with fans. Since I’ve built everything independently, this would kickstart my dream on a global scale and help bring my music to the people who need to hear it.
