Describe your art style.
It is best represented by DRT: Designer Rap Tour, an unconventional music, art, and design exhibition showcasing my body of work and creative acts. This independent tour serves as my adventurous "study abroad," featuring live performances, pop-up shops, on-the-go music videos, photoshoots, foodie excursions, outdoor explorations, and immersive connections with local cultures across the United States.

What does Houston mean to you?
Houston is more than a city—it’s a creative catalyst, a cultural melting pot, and the foundation of my artistic identity. It’s a place where diversity thrives, with a rich blend of art, music, food, and tradition that offers endless inspiration. As an artist, Houston has taught me the value of resilience, hustle, and embracing every part of my creative journey.
