1. How do you describe yourself as an artist?
I would describe myself as self-owned, ethereal and eccentric. High energy, vibrant but hypnotizing. A unique individual with an effervescent and youthful energy and aesthetic.

2. What's the best part of your job?
Being able to fully express myself and be myself at all times. Being able to have autonomy and define who I am and make decisions for myself. I love music and art with a passion and I am grateful to continue on and be given opportunities to showcase myself and also allowed the room to grow and challenge myself as an artist.

3. What's the best advice that you can give to someone who is exploring your career?
Make sure you don't let anyone stray you away from who you genuinely are. It's okay to ask for help and it's totally fine to not know everything or have all the answers. Be patient and stay consistent. Giving up will never get you to your goal. Find mentors you trust and only keep people around you that uplift you and want you to succeed.

4. What does socializing with purpose mean to you?
I socialize with purpose by only engaging with people in a genuine manner. I don't care what kind of "opportunities" someone can give me, if the vibe and the connection is not there, that's a wrap. Someone can be kind and polite but small talk does nothing for me. Never force interactions.
