In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember in grade school I was watching a singing competition on TV "Little Big Star" where Charice and Sam were contestants, I told myself I wanna be like them. I wanna be a singer one day. I used to pretend like I'm part of the show. It was fun.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? G-DRAGON, COUP D'ETAT Paramore, Riot! (Deluxe Version) Tori Kelly, Hiding Place I'm influenced by a lot of different artists and music genres and I've always wanted to make music in the same genre as my favorite artists. Ed Sheeran's whole discography is a favorite too. He is such a big influence on my music.
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. “Typa Boy” My experience with bullying affected me growing up but I learned a lot from it. I wrote this song as a reminder that whatever people say about me doesn't define who I am. This is a message of hope, self-confidence, and positivity in adversity.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Releasing my songs on Apple Music so far is already something very memorable for me. I only see my favorite artists on this platform but here I am now. I'm finally able to show the world my music through Apple Music and I could search my name here.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to release an all-original full-length album and collaborate with some of my favorite producers and artists. I also want to tour and perform on stage and make people sing along to my original songs. That'd be EPIC!
