June 14, 2025 — Performed in association with the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

There is no shame in my journey — everything is connected.

Street performing became an unexpected but defining chapter of my story. What began outside of my former workplace in Miami grew into a space of discovery, courage, and connection. I didn’t turn to street performance because it was beneath me — it simply wasn’t something I had ever imagined for myself. The vulnerability of just singing once held me back.

I began busking in November 2022 at 22 years old, and it has become one of the greatest teachers of my life. Out on the street, I found my voice more fully, clarified my “why,” and learned how deeply music can move people — sometimes to dance, sometimes to cry, sometimes simply to stop and feel.

Those moments, the conversations, the encouragement, and yes, the generosity, helped sustain me — financially and spiritually. More importantly, they reminded me why I create.

I’ve grown, evolved, and come a long way — and I’m still becoming. I trust God and the gifts I’ve been given, and I refuse to give up. 

I play and sing covers as a way to connect, create joy, and share familiar moments with listeners. My original music is where my heart lives — personal, intentional, and meant for us.

Either way, all of it is my expression. I am living art, and I value the stories, sounds, and truth I choose to share.
