What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Music. Rhythm. I love making sounds that paint a picture in your mind. It’s almost like a two in one, if you ask me.

Where do you find inspiration?

What remains of the nature escape that surrounds me. A lot of it is being consumed with capitalism and construction. But looking at greenhouses, small rivers, and creeks with their own ecosystems still intact. And my grandmothers. They poured their lives while making sure that I had one. They will forever be my angels and inspiration for life.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would set aside most of it, use what is needed to get myself out of immediate debt, pay off rent, and get some extravagant bouquet and thank yous’ to give my grandmothers. My grandma and her mom.
