BIOGRAPHY
I’m a new and rising artist from St. Paul, Minnesota. After graduating from college, I found myself lost with no direction in life. I began to reevaluate what it is that I truly want to do in life. I knew that I wanted to pursue activities that make my life fulfilling, and through art it is possible. With this mindset, I developed a podcast channel to share and explore my interests.
I got involved with InProgress after a couple of music sessions with a friend who was a part of InProgress. I was blown away when I found out that InProgress provides opportunities for artists to tell their own stories through artistic means. With InProgress, I look forward to investing in myself, and to accomplish that goal, I’ve accepted mentors to teach me new skillsets in all my artistic interests.
To immerse myself in these new hobbies, I’ve started a podcast team and read podcasts book.
The goal of my podcast is to pave a path for new and upcoming generations to thrive in an environment where they don't constantly feel trapped in the minds of the elders/parents/loved ones. Growing up in a first-generation immigrant household, I experienced a lot of judgments, restrictions, and backlash for the way I wanted to live my life. Nevertheless, I learned not to let opinions ruin my peace; and recognize that I am in control of myself.
I hope that my voice and message get heard by those who need it most.
Thank you for reading my bio. I will leave a gift here for you:
