“Growing up in government housing with a single mom on disability, the programs I longed for were always out of reach, the resources at home were limited.

As I grew older, without any creative outlets around us, I watched friends drift into dangerous patterns. Destruction and disconnection felt like the only option... but music changed that.

Making songs with my friends and being part of community events gave us something to live for, a glimpse into a different life. A life I wanted for myself and for everyone around me.

Because of this, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering kids like me to harness their creativity and build communities that allow them to see their purpose before the world decides it for them.”
