Influences and inspiration
My greatest musical influences are artists who pair unmistakable identity with exceptional musicianship and commanding live performance. Prince is my biggest influence, particularly in his originality, genre fluidity, theatricality, and complete commitment to his artistic point of view.
Portraying Tina Turner also deeply shaped me as a performer, strengthening my approach to stamina, storytelling, movement, and connecting with a live audience.
I’m especially inspired by the glamour, musicianship, and freedom of the disco era, along with artists across rock, soul, pop, R&B, and musical theatre. Those influences come together in performances that are bold, stylish, emotionally direct, and built to make an audience feel something.
