• What do you love about music and performing? Music's ability to annihilate division and create unity between billions of people all at one time has always had me in complete awe. When onstage, it is not just me performing, YOU are too! Crowd interaction acts as the vessel of my shows, keeping the energy and true essence of my art alive and pumping. Without YOU, my music loses its life!
• Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators? Michael Jackson's timeless groove and Whitney Houston's unsurpassed vocals always danced around my home growing up. Fractions of their artistry are evident in the music I create today! I've been a supporter of Ariana Grande since 2013. From admiring Cat Valentine from "Victorious", to learning every lyric of every song, her story, resilience and love has never gone unnoticed. I dream to join forces with Grande to create a piece that resonates with everyone!
• What makes you the Next Music Star? Yes, I have created a brand, visually and conceptually, written and recorded songs by myself day and night, honed in on my choreography skills, sharpened my stage presence, studied music theory, learned the business, and consistently trained my vocals, indeed. Yet, I strongly believe that being a true music star is beyond possessing such an imperative foundation. Leaving a permanent mark on people's hearts means far more to me. THAT is what will make me the next music star.
• What would you do with the $10,000? Without hesitation, donating. In any way I can. Hot meals for the homeless, charity, even music therapy programs. The rest invested into my music career through studio time and upgraded equipment! My art is tissue to wipe your tears with, hands to pick you up, and a mirror to remind you of your inner and outer worth. Your dreams WILL come true, and I hope to show you that through my music and this competition! I won't just make an impact, I will leave a perpetual message for all.
