• What do you love about music and performing? I love there are no rules to expressing your imagination, especially onstage. You can be the most kaleidoscopic & the most soulful version of yourself simultaneoously. Also LOVE showing a different side of a single live is so fun, adding intros and visuals and texture is so much fun. And the fashion!!! It’s a great excuse to look ICONIC and speak your truth for however long your set is.
• Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators? Inspirations: Alexz Johnson, Michelle Branch, Celion Dion, & Harry Gregson-Williams. Dream Collaborators: Ryan Tedder, Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter, Adele, Kacey Musgraves, & FLORENCE + THE MACHINE!!!
• What makes you the Next Music Star? I have dreams that have ALL to do with music. I have always treated the world like a stage, sometimes imperfectly, whether people understood it then or later. I’m just trying to navigate through a cruel world with my eyes hopeful & open & with good intention & a healthy imagination. Love the fantasy music can bring during hard times so let’s have fun ya know!?
• What would you do with the $10,000? Budget intentionally & work even harder. This is just the beginning & I plan to work in music for a long time.
