What is your favorite thing about what you are performing? My favorite thing is that I’ll be able to share something I’ve loved doing since the age of 5.

Why did you choose this act to perform? I chose to perform this because it’s fun, so why not.

How long have you been singing? I’ve been singing since before I can remember.

What are you most excited for? I’m most excited about showing my family, mostly my older cousin Tyler, because he’s never seen me truly perform.
