What makes you the Next Music Star?
I am a bilingual Latin pop artist from San Jose, California, and I sing in English and Spanish because my whole world lives in both languages. I am the seventh of eight kids, raised on faith, family, and big dreams in a Mexican household. What makes me the Next Music Star is that I do not just perform songs. I create a place where people feel seen. My promise to my audience is simple: you are seen, and you matter. I write, sing, act, and even publish my own books, and every part of it has one mission. Joy, love, and belonging for the Latino and LGBTQ communities and for anybody who ever felt invisible. When I step on a stage, my gente steps up with me.
What do you love about music and performing?
Music is where I feel most like myself, and performing is where I get to share that feeling with everybody in the room. I love the second a song lands and you can see it on someone's face. That moment where a stranger suddenly feels understood. I love singing in Spanish for my mom and my family, and in English for the kid I used to be, the one who needed somebody to say keep going. I love the lights, the nerves before the first note, the dancing, the tears, all of it. Performing turns my story into our story, and there is no better feeling in the world than that.
Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators?
Alicia Keys changed my life. I was twelve years old when I heard her sing "If I Ain't Got You," and I knew in that moment that I wanted to do that with my life. She is my biggest inspiration and my dream collaborator, no question. I am also a huge fan of Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Shakira. Artists who perform with their whole heart and never apologize for who they are. Dream stage for me: singing with Alicia at the piano, and a big joyful Latin pop moment with Miley or Jennifer. That is the dream, and I work like it is already on its way.
What would you do with the $10,000 Grand Prize?
First, I would invest in the music. Recording my songs at the level they deserve and filming the videos I have been imagining for years, starting with Mira Mi Gente, my anthem for my people. Second, I would give back. My series You Are Seen, You Matter spotlights people and places that hold our community up, like the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Community Center in San Jose, and I would put real money behind that mission. And I would take care of my family, the people who believed in me before anybody knew my name. Money comes and goes. What you build with it, and who you lift with it, that stays.
