What makes you the Next Music Star?
I’m an artist that thrives off of genuine human connection and community built off of a shared love for music. This opportunity would not only help me do what I love, but to also expand and grow my community.
What do you love about music and performing?
As an artist, it is my responsibility to create an environment that allows an audience the freedom to feel, move, and let go! I love the way I’m able to connect with so many people simultaneously, but individually all at once when performing. My music not only serves as an outlet for me, but a foundation for others to connect as well.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
Bruce Springsteen is and always will be my biggest influence and dream collaborator. As someone who grew up in New Jersey and playing music in Asbury Park, it was inevitable to have Springsteen in my musical DNA. His music and his story are both things I relate to and am inspired by constantly!
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
First off, I’d be sure the musicians that play my live shows with me are taken care of! Lastly, I’d utilize the rest to produce & market my first EP. Releasing a record has been a goal of mine for several years and I have never had the budget to do it the right way. The prize money would be a game changer for me and would absolutely help me achieve one of my biggest goals.
