I love connecting people through music, art and creativity. It’s my life’s passion to create this community!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
While primarily a musician, I like to create art and music that represents the relationship between performer and audience. I partner with photographers to capture moments that include this interaction, and create art during concerts to help audiences feel accepted and welcome in the space. Anything to connect the people in the room with a unique sensory experience.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by the people who find fulfillment and connection at my concerts. Each person enters with a different background, perspective, set of emotions, and expectation. Some bring quiet strength, others bring heartache and desperation. The art and music brings them all together in a safe space of beauty and peace.
What would you do with $25,000?I would share it with the photographers and artists with whom I had already collaborated, to help capture more moments. My goal is to share this art with other organizations so that they can branch out from the normal and connect everyone in our communities through all music and art forms. As I champion audience engagement for all, the art doesn’t lie….It shows genuine engagement and connection that can only be felt when the audience is acknowledged and cared for❤️
