My mother worked as an oil painter while I was growing up and my older sister went on to be an artist as well. I was always surrounded by visual art and creativity. I received a nursing degree and while working as a nurse, I would do videography on the side when I could. As time went on, I was hired more to do wedding videography and later realized I wanted to do it full time. Read More>>

I chose a music career because I am able to channel what’s internal, externally with the music I create. My beats are feelings I cannot put into words. Music speaks to my soul and since I can remember, music has helped my mood, my power, and it’s a huge part of who I am. There’s no job that I know of that would inspire me the way music has. I am a complete version of myself because I have followed my dreams to keep doing music and be a Music Producer. I live a life where I express myself freely and it’s incredible. Read More>>

Since I was little, fashion has always been something that’s completely captivated me. I’d wake up and immediately throw on a dress-up gown, little heels, necklaces, and sunglasses. It felt like stepping into my own little world where I could be whoever I wanted through what I wore. That excitement for fashion never went away as I grew up; in fact, it just got stronger. What started as childhood play turned into a genuine love for the creativity and artistry that fashion is all about. Read More>>

grandmother. She did a bunch of creative activities to introduce me to what it was like
being an artist. Around the age of five, I moved to Music City, USA, Nashville,
Tennessee. Read More>>

I’ve always been drawn to different stories & various walks of life. I found a creative outlet within that interest early on in picking up a camera & shining a light into that world of storytelling. It’s such a fulfilling way to get creative & relate to people & share some insight into others lives that you might not otherwise be able to. Read More>>

In every way, I honestly believe music pursued me. I’ve had many jobs to pay my way through school, but I’ve always returned to creative roles and maintained an entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve worked in the visual arts, earned my education in music, taught music, and now find myself in a fulfilling blend of musical careers. Read More>>
