What was the starting point for your performance career?
I began performing professionally at the age of 15 and have steadily progressed to larger platforms and opportunities since then.
Name some of the artists who have inspired or influenced you.
Justin Bieber, Tori Kelly, Charlie Puth, Alicia Keys, and Shawn Mendez are among the artists who have inspired me throughout my life. They’re all fantastic at what they do, and I’m hoping to share the stage with them one day.
How would you describe your style or approach to music?
My sound is quite distinct and refined, with thudding percussion, grooving bass, and guitar-laced instrumentation tinged with an electro-pop vibration. My tunes are also memorable, with easy-to-sing-along melodies that make them instantly recognizable and irresistible.
What separates you from other artists?
What distinguishes me from other artists is my originality and creativity, unique style and sound, persistence and resilience, captivating and memorable live performance, and leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Music is a highly competitive industry, but artists who demonstrate resilience and persistence in pursuing their dreams often stand out.
Name some of the major artists you have performed alongside.
I’ve had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists such as David Byrne, Yolanda Adams, Cee Lo Green, Beladona Band, and others.
What advice would you offer other aspiring artists?
I would advise young artists to never give up on their aspirations and to keep pushing despite their doubts and worries about being an artist. We all have doubts and fears about pursuing something we really want to achieve. But it is always our doubts and anxieties that drive us to pursue things, whether we believe we can accomplish it or that we are not good enough. Which, in reality, we are, and as long as you keep pushing through it and believing in yourself, you will be invincible.
