Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create music. I am a musician, Music Producer, Recording Engineer, and artist who creates music from scratch all day, everyday. Making a song from scratch is my favorite type of art to create. Whether I start with Piano, Guitar, or Drums, I enjoy every step of the process. Creating music is an extremely personal art form that requires not only creativity, but discipline. Pushing myself to make a new song or idea everyday, no matter what mood I am or struggles I've been going through.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration from life. Whether it's from close friends, loved ones, other creatives, or even personal trauma. I believe some of the best artists are ones who create from a place of personal struggle. Being able to take unfortunate experiences, and turn them into something meaningful and beautiful feels like a superpower to me, and can be extremely difficult at times. Some of my favorite songs have very personal and sometimes traumatic backstories behind them.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I received $25,000, I would not only invest it back into my career, but invest it in new upcoming artists I believe have the chance to be huge. I would you use the money to jumpstart my own record label, with the goal of discovering new artists, producers and give them a platform to grow. I would also love to give some of the money to my mother, who is currently struggling to pay her rent in a one bedroom apartment. If it wasn't for my mother, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today.
