At what age did you realize you have interest in the profession you’ve taken up?

Ever since elementary to high school I was in a choir, and also drum

Line all while being the captain of the step team and co caption of the cheer team. I would write music with my close friend Asia in a pad, but it was never rap, it was r and b because singing was a talent I was scared to share with anyone. For so, ‘em reason I met pursued it until now.

Describe your professional journey? 

I’ve always wanted to be star, so I’ve always had a plan that of coarse changed a billion times. Well becoming a dancer encouraged me to go get plastic surgery then becoming a very popular dancer made me want to include my fashion into my brand so I started designing custom outfits for other entertainers. This made me well liked in va even tho in Houston I left a good tast in people’s mouth with my fashion and creativity. Rapping was brought to, y attention by other dancers and we tried and just didn’t happen, so I decided to pursue it on my own. And now I’m here and I love it ! There’s no stopping now for me , I do it for my siblings and, son .

What challenges did you face?

I faced some challenges along the way like people judging me for dancing and or just not supporting enough to make me the star I was meant to be.
