“I enjoy exploring and sharing cultural wealth with other people and music being a universal language that is relatable, helps me achieve that. It doesn’t matter what background we come from, music and creative arts as a whole, can be used to empower, entertain, educate and inspire individuals. l am just grateful to use my gift to achieve all that and bring people together.”
