In a world where authenticity often gets lost beneath trends, this Seattle-born artist stands firmly in his truth — crafting music drawn entirely from lived memories, real emotions, and the moments that shaped him. Influenced by icons like Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, and Sidhu Moose Wala, he blends timeless inspiration with the intensity of his own experiences, creating songs that feel both personal and universally relatable.
For him, creativity has no schedule. Ideas arrive at 1 p.m. or 1 a.m., sparked by a feeling, a memory, or a fragment of life that refuses to be ignored. Each track becomes a snapshot of something he has lived through — and he believes anything less simply wouldn’t be real.
As someone who sees art as one of society’s most powerful forces, he carries a clear mission: to make music that moves people, even if it’s just one listener at a time. With a drive rooted in emotion, growth, and everyday practice, he’s preparing to share more of his world than ever before.
Here is our interview with an artist who creates with intention, dreams boldly, and believes the future is shaped by the art we make today.

Tell me about how your creation part begins, and how is your workflow.
Creation can come from anywhere. Ideas exist throughout all spaces around me. It depends on what I’m doing and how I’m feeling. Sometimes I can write a song in minutes, sometimes it takes weeks.
Where do you find inspiration?
My inspiration comes from my memories and the emotions that come with those memories. Everything I write about is something I have been through and have felt — otherwise the song would not turn out good.
When is your favorite time of day to create your music?
No favorite time. It all depends on when an idea comes into my head — could be 1 p.m. or 1 a.m.
Describe how art is essential to society nowadays.
Art is the most important thing in society today and has always been. It shapes society into what we become in future generations, for inspiration comes in many forms through art. I believe art has the power to change society for the better and has changed society on numerous occasions.
What motivates you to create?
The way I see it, if I can make a song that makes even one person smile, I can keep going and make as many songs as needed.

Success exists in many forms, but to me, I want the entire world to be impacted by my music one day, so I can have the ability to help others through my success.
Does art help you in other areas of your life?
Art helps me with every area of my life. Inspiration drives me to continue doing the things necessary to be successful in a particular field. The main inspiration and motivation I get is through music. Wherever I am, I need to have music playing at all times — it helps me get through a lot.
How do you develop your art skills?
You just have to keep practicing and learning every day. That’s the only way to do it.
