In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I once tried to secretly enroll in DJ school, but my parents weren’t thrilled. I failed a drum lesson, then sang Accidentally in Love with friends just to share the embarrassment. Now, I DJ on my MacBook, still dreaming of playing on a real stage.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Hinder, Extreme Behavior JAY-Z, LINKIN PARK, Collision Course - EP Key Glock, Ambition for Cash - Single Lips of an Angel is my go-to karaoke song, emotional and powerful. Numb/Encore always fueled my mindset with its raw energy and crossover genius. Ambition for Cash keeps me focused, the flow, lyrics, and beat push me to keep grinding.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Study of Conduct” I love this track because it dives into the morality behind human actions, the weight of responsibility, sacrifice, and the blurred line between right and wrong. It’s a reminder that every gain often comes with a hidden cost we don't always see.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments was seeing my first songs reach people starting with family and friends, then hitting 100, 200 streams. When one track hit 36,000, it felt surreal. That moment made me believe in my sound and keep going
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? A big dream of mine is to go full-time with music, performing globally where people from all cultures vibe to my sound. I still want to collaborate across genres and create something that blends global influences into one unique track.
