What makes you the Next Music Star?
Honestly, I never wanted to be famous I just wanted to make music that people love and can relate to but if fame gives me the spotlight and the access to help others get through something emotionally or be the blueprint for others to see that anything is possible with a little patience sign me up. Growing up in the south in a town with under 5,000 people taught me that if I can be a role model or a form of inspiration to people that have small mindsets , imagine if I had the platform to be heard and seen by millions all over the world. It really is the simple things I admire the most. My biggest supporters have always been complete strangers, that has to mean I’m doing something right or at least heading in the right direction.
What do you love about music and performing?
Performing in front of a large or small audience that is happy to see you just as you are to see them is a very surreal experience, but walking onto a stage with a crowd of people who is unfamiliar with my presence and music causing them to stand up , dance , cheer, sing along with me and become fans is my favorite. Turning from a complete unknown individual to an artist with a familiar face is powerful.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
I may be in my 20’s but hey I still have learned so much from Icons such as Prince, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson , Dolly Parton but BEYONCE KNOWLS has to be my inspiration. Beyoncé would be someone I’d love to just meet and say “Hi Im Lemontea”. Working with or receiving music career advice from established artists such as Ed Sheeran, Hailey Williams from Paramore or Laddy GaGa even Adam Levine would be such a beautiful moment.
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
Id fund my music career , pay for studio sessions, voice lessons and invest in the direction of becoming the star I believe im capable of becoming. If I were to win the 10,000 grand prize I’d focus on how to win my next 10,000 and my next 10,000 whether that’s form other competitions or finally being known well enough to make a living off of the music I creat but until then I’ll Clock into my 9 to 5 and make music when Im not at work or sleep. The end goal is to be on that Grammy stage telling others how it’s possible.
