What is your favorite type of art to create?

I’m drawn to music and visual storytelling. I create emotionally-driven songs and pair them with cinematic visuals that reflect identity, transformation, and duality. My work often explores the contrast between past and present—who I was versus who I’m becoming. I like art that feels intentional, minimal, and powerful, where every detail has meaning and purpose.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in my personal journey—growth, recovery, and self-discovery. I’m also inspired by artists who build worlds around their work, like Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish, as well as editorial fashion and film. Moments of silence, reflection, and even past chaos fuel my creativity. Everything I’ve been through becomes material I can reshape into something meaningful and aligned.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest it directly into my creative career—professional recording equipment, visuals, and high-quality production to fully realize my artistic vision. I’d fund music videos, editorial shoots, and marketing to build a strong, intentional brand. A portion would go toward stability, like transportation and housing, to create a consistent foundation that allows me to focus and scale my work long-term.
