I've loved singing and performing ever since i was little! It's always been there for me and it was my escape when I was being bullied for being different. Its just sometimes unexplainable i just love singing and dancing and making people happy because its what fuels me, its just been my calling and i just found my purpose when i was really really young, its who i am its embedded in me its just me and i was born to do this When were you first introduced to music? My mom is a really good singer and growing up ive been exposed to so many different genres, i fell in love with Justin Timberlakes boyband NSYNC when my mom had their DVD when I was 5 and i would spend hours dancing and singing to it, this is where I really fell in love with performing and singing and dancing at the same time etc I just connected with it very quickly and I knew ever since then that that was who I was. My next big musical influence would be Justin Bieber and from there he was my main influence and hes who i look up to to this day, i feel like hes my big brother and we have this spiritual connection through music! Later on Drake would end up being my next biggest influence especially with his album's "Views" and "More Life". What's your favorite part of being an artist? Performing/Meeting fans and knowing what you do makes them happy, the best feeling is when all of your feelings including worries,struggles, happiness etc are out in a song, connect with them and i get to put what I had worried about out into the world and both I and they can benefit from it! its just a special feeling and knowing that youre not alone is also amazing obviously! And the feeling of performing, whether itd be at my own headlining concert or in a musical theatre show I just love the energy and every little detail that has to do with it!
