I was born on April 6, 2005 in Boston, MA, and lived there for a few years before moving to Maryland. Naturally, being from Boston I'm now a big Celtics and Patriots fan, but enjoy watching a variety of sports. After moving to Maryland, I went through all of primary school there until moving down to Durham, NC for college making me a big Blue Devils fan. Some of my other interests include music — my favorite artists right now are Tyler, the Creator, Wave to Earth, and Sampha — and fashion — one of my favorite brands is Iongaf.

Music I think is cool right now!

Flower Boy

My favorite artist of all time, recently I've been listening to a lot of Where the Flower Blooms and 911/Mr. Lonely.

Lahai

The best album of 2023 in my opinion. Spirit 2.0, Only, Stereo Colour Cloud, and Suspended are amazing tracks.

FORWARD

Amazing summer album, Jordan Ward is probably my new favorite artist. FAMJAM4000 and 311 are my favorites from the project.

TIMELESS

New KAYTRANADA!! Pretty cool album, particularly like the PinkPantheress and Don Toliver features.
