Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I’m inspired by artists who built worlds, not just songs—Lil Wayne, Tyler the Creator, Nicki Minaj, Grimes, Travis Scott. But also by cities—Berlin’s dance scene, New York’s raw energy, and the internet’s ability to reshape identity. I built a cult following by merging hip-hop with electronic music, creating Hip House, my own genre. I’m inspired by the future—especially the friction between technology, isolation, and how sound can reconnect us.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen would amplify everything I’ve built—from my 250K TikTok fanbase to syncs in NBA 2K and HBO. It’s more than a stage—it’s the moment the world sees what Hip House is and why it matters. I'd use the spotlight to champion new sounds, Black creativity in tech, and the power of music to reach across borders, genres, and platforms.
What would you do with $50,000?
I’d put it directly into my next project—scaling up 3D world design, visuals, and sound for Beyond Human, a TV series I’m developing and scoring myself. It’s fully trademarked and built around my music and cyborg persona. The funding would help bring the world to life while pushing Hip House into new media. And honestly? A little would go toward rent in NYC—because chasing your dreams here isn’t cheap.
