Have you performed in front of an audience?

Yeah, I’ve rocked a few stages already, and every single one taught me something. First real show was a little club spot, maybe 80 people packed in, hot as hell, lights barely working, but the second I hit the first chord on the guitar and the beat dropped, the whole room locked in. I did a song I wrote the night my homie passed, and I swear I looked up and half the crowd had their eyes closed, feeling it with me. That was the moment I knew this ain’t just music, this is church.

I put my soul in every sound, heart in every bar. Hip-hop, trap, soul'm not chasing waves, I'm building the ocean. One day, the world’ll feel what I’ve been feeling.
