Besides my music, it’s the quality of merch, number of sold out performances and the ability to truly come-up without a major backing.

Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Growing up in the same neighborhood Hip-hop was born serves as a major inspiration but also the mixtape-era right before today’s current streaming model inspired my style and grind.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
This will be the first time I perform on a global stage. That impact would translate to scaling up my artistry by gaining organic fans, kicking off the next wave of performance bookings and it would elevate my image by positioning me as an independent artist with major-level output.
What would you do with $50,000?
It takes me $1000 monthly to properly release and market each single, so I’d use $24,000 to consistently release music for the next 2 years. I’d also use it for the production costs of my merchandise, some music videos/content and kicking off my first official tour.
