Biography

Writing thoughts when you don’t know where to start
In the beginning I told myself that I did‘t want to be normal
My thinking was to try not to blend in and conform

With this mindset
I promised myself that I would not settle
I would not accept being labeled as mediocre
This is not to say that I wanted to be the best

Only that
I would only strive
To try my best
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan
Currently living and working in New York City

Artist Statement

What it means to me to call myself an artist.
There is no greater feeling to start with nothing
To begin a journey with no idea where it will take you
