What generated your interest in music?
Growing up, I sang in my church’s choir and also participated in my family’s karaoke parties. Once I started to write my own songs, I became even more interested in music. I love how music has the ability to help and heal. I truly believe that music is a universal language and is one of the only things in this world that can unite people effortlessly.

What makes me different is my drive not only to be a successful recording artist but also to be a valuable recording artist. I believe I was blessed with my gifts and talents in order to add value to the music industry and to the world on a universal level. One of my main goals on my music journey is to remind everyone how powerful music can be.
How did you start working with Skyler Lexx? What has it been like working with him?

My main focus at the moment is recording as many songs as possible, then hopefully putting them together to release an EP or LP. A tour will come soon thereafter of course!
Why do you think it’s important for people to follow their dreams?
It’s extremely important for people to follow their dreams because by doing so they can make a positive change in this world. Also, when a person follows their dream, that person is also inspiring others to tap into their purpose and what they’re passionate about. With that being said don’t just follow your dreams; chase them!
