Where would I be without art? It’s inspired me since I was a child and raised me into the woman that I am today. I started writing my own work when I was in 5th grade. First  with short stories & poems then I transitioned into novels that I would write in the note section of my mom’s blackberry. In middle school I started writing music. I would rap at recess in freestyle sessions with friends and eventually, I made a SoundCloud. When I got to High school is when I first shared my original work. I performed at showcases with my best friend as my manager and the help of some dope local party promoters. In 2019, I graduated from the American Musical & Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles with a BFA in Musical theatre. I honestly originally only wanted to attend for the vocal lessons but I fell in love with broadway with the help of some inspiring teachers and talented friends. That was my first time diving into the world of theatre & it truly taught me so much about the world itself. I give so much credit to art for helping guide me through the trials of life. I’m sure just like me, art has been a major reason why you keep going every day & I want to contribute to that positive light in the world. Keep up with me on this journey as I continue to elevate. All praise to the most high for blessing me with great gifts to share.
