Pursuing a career in the music industry was a natural calling for me because I believe that music is one of the biggest stages in the world. It’s a platform that allows artists to celebrate the gift of music while finding solace in the unity of words and melodies. My journey into the music industry is a story of defying the odds and using this powerful stage to share my gift with the world.

As an orphan and a foster kid who faced bullying and adversity, I understand the challenges that life can throw at you. However, I refused to let my circumstances define me. Instead, I used music as my means of escape and expression. It became my refuge, a place where I could channel my emotions and turn my hardships into art. My experience in the military further shaped my determination. Serving in the military taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of unity. Now, I see myself in a position to represent not only those who served in uniform but also anyone who has faced adversity, regardless of their background or nationality. My music is a way to bridge gaps and connect people from all walks of life.

Despite being naturally shy, I discovered that through music, any voice can rise from silence. Music gave me the confidence to step onto the stage, both figuratively and literally, and share my story with the world. It’s not just about the gift of song; it’s about being the movement, transcending any circumstance, and proving that we are all capable of greatness. In the end, my journey in the music industry is about more than just personal success. It’s about inspiring others to overcome their obstacles, follow their passions, and rise above adversity. It’s about using the universal language of music to create connections, promote unity, and be a force for positive change in the world.
