Interview Series

1. If you could live out your WILDEST dream with no fear of failure, what would you be doing?

If we're talking fantasy then I'd love to just be able to fly. Like just magically float and feel the freedom that birds must feel everyday. More realistically I plan to own land in the future and build safe communities for queer people where we can just exist and feel safe and secure. The wild part of that would just be the plan going off without a hitch or two. Or 100 if I'm being honest.

2. What is the most memorable, funniest, or craziest thing that has happened to you on your entertainment journey?

I guess that would undoubtedly be breaking my neck. In 2017 I was an acrobat performing at a large event in Kennesaw. I was doing flips off of a mini trampoline and landing on an 8-inch mat at a football field. It was going well for hours until one trick where I slightly under rotated and landed square on my head. I immediately lost all feeling below my neck and had to be taken to Kennestone hospital for emergency surgery (c5/c6 dislocation). I stayed lucid the entire time so that memory is very vivid for me. After surgery I was there for two more weeks before spending a month at the Shepherd Center doing physical therapy to relearn to walk and use my body in general, and to this day not all of my muscles listen to me. But although this is the most difficult experience I've been through by far, I think I came out the other side a better person for it. It put a lot of things into perspective for me and taught me a lot about myself so at the end of the day I guess I'm just thankful I'm here.

3. What is the best advice you have received regarding your entertainment journey? And who did it come from?

The best advice I've ever received came from a stunt actor friend of mine Nate Andrade. It was while I was in the hospital. He told me, "When life feels like a nightmare, all you can do is just keep waking up. One day it'll just feel like a dream". That quote has gotten me through every dark moment of my life since I heard it. Just keep waking up. Do what you can. Eat, Sleep, Drink water and get to the next day because life is hard but it's worth living.. That's the energy I hope I do my best to give off in my music.

4. What has been your biggest challenge in the entertainment industry?

My biggest challenge in the music industry has been finding opportunities to perform and show my music to new audiences. It's something that I've been working on for quite some time and is getting better. I'll be performing at multiple different venues this summer so be sure to checkout my socials for news on that.

5. What advice would you give to someone that was just starting out?

Just do it. Just make the music. Just do the art. Just put it out. Just do it. You can do it. That's it.

6. If your social media had the power to influence positive change in the world, what would you use it for?

I'd use it to share Information about causes that I believe are important. Efforts to combat climate change, police reform, prison reform, abortion rights, etc. I think if you have a platform you should use it for something that matters.
