Life inspires my music, which is why my music is all about fun, happiness, education, dance and constant life happenings.

What is the inspiration behind your latest single release?

I have a drive to bring positive influence in this new generation by preaching love and peace. People need to admire each other more than bringing hatred.

Who are other talented artists you would hope to collaborate with?

Currently, I collaborate with my team, world best producer FRESCO. We work well together as he understands my sound and kind of vibe. Plus, I have collaborated with
