When did you start to get interested in acting and singing?

I became interested in acting at a very young age in my life: I started my own YouTube channel at the age of 9, because I loved the cameras and the attention, the spotlight. I wanted to act in big movies and TV shows. So then, I took some classes and auditioned. Now, I understand the reason for why I have this passion, but it started there.

As for singing, I always kind of sang everywhere, every day, on the APP Smule, and doing Karaoke because it just fulfilled me, made my heart and soul smile.

If you were an advertisement, which would your slogan be?

My slogan would be: “True happiness is found in the inner world, not outer world”.

Which is the part you enjoy the most about acting?

I love making people laugh through my weirdness and having fun with it, as well as making new connections.

Most artists say that through their art they learn more about themselves, heal injuries… In which aspects has acting, and indeed singing, helped you?

Singing helped me heal emotionally, helped me process my sadness, anger… In addition, it is a way for me to escape life for a moment and feel my soul’s happiness. Acting helps me gain back my smile and laughter when in moments of numbness or sadness.

What does being an entertainer mean to you?

For me, being an entertainer means to bring happiness and smiles to people as well as a meaningful message that can help the people learn and grow. Because indeed, we are all here on this earth to help each other grow and give support.

Who are your idols?

My idols are Selena Gomez and BlackPink. They are just pure, authentic people that send out amazing energy, vibes and beautiful messages through their music. I can feel the genuinity, sincerity and that is powerful. 

If you didn’t like acting, or singing, what would you like to do?

I’d certainly be doing a job related to helping people in their life but in another way. But honestly, my mind is blank haha, I haven’t got a single idea.

Do you consider that nowadays there are more or less opportunities for new actors? Why?

I feel like there are more opportunities for new actors nowadays thanks to the Internet. I was quite surprised at how many websites there were for auditions, self tapes and connecting with agencies and all.

What would your idyllic life in entertainment be like?

Ideally, I would love to appear in a sitcom like the show “Friends”. I would have a blast and do what I love. The perfect feeling. Furthermore, I would love to make music that lightens up the room, comforts you and maybe release an album and go on tour all around the world. That would be an amazing experience.

Do you have anything new you are working on?

I am currently working with a music producer on a song I wrote with my brothers and will release it on all digital streaming platforms, which is exciting!
