What makes you the Next Music Star?
What makes me the Next Music Star is that I’m more than just an artist I’m an entertainer. I bring music, movement, personality, storytelling, and real emotion together to create an experience people can connect with. I’ve built a community around being unapologetically myself, and I want my music to give people that same feeling: confident, free, and seen. I’m not trying to fit into one box. I’m building my own lane, my own sound, and my own world and I’m just getting started.
What do you love about music and performing?
I love that music gives you the ability to say something without always having to explain it. Performing takes that feeling and brings it to life. I love the energy of a crowd, the adrenaline before stepping on stage, and that moment when everyone is moving and singing together. As someone who loves to dance and entertain, performing lets me combine all of those things into one experience. There’s nothing like making someone forget about whatever they were going through for a few minutes and just feel good.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
My biggest music inspirations are artists who know how to create a complete experience not just make music. Michael Jackson is one of my biggest inspirations because of his legendary ability to combine music, dance, storytelling, and performance into something unforgettable. I’m also inspired by Usher, Chris Brown, Shenseea, and Cardi B for the way they each bring their own personality, confidence, and individuality to their music. My dream collaborations would be with Usher, Chris Brown, Shenseea, and Cardi B. I’d love to bring my own sound, energy, and performance style together with artists who know how to create moments that people remember.
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
I would put the $10,000 directly back into my music career. I’d use it to fund quality recording sessions, production, music videos, promotional content, live performance preparation, and the team needed to take my artistry to the next level. Most importantly, I’d turn that $10,000 into something bigger than a prize it would become an investment in the music, visuals, performances, and experiences I want to create for my audience. I want to build a career that lasts, and this would give me the opportunity to take a major step forward.
