Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My inspiration for dancing is the ability to tell a story in movement. I believe in rhythmic qualities and the importance of musicality even in the slowest songs, but when I am dancing, I want the audience to visually see a story being told, a story that draws them in and makes them more interested and inspired Being a young black male in a field often overlooked for my gender and racial demographic, I want to express not only my journey, but be an inspiration to other young black males like me.

How would being in Ciara's music video impact your life?

Being in Ciara’s music video would jump-start my career as a professional dancer and choreographer. My dream has always been to become a professional dancer and dance on stage, in film, TV, etc. Additionally, being in Ciara’s music video will allow me to experience the dance world differently. Win or lose, it would be an experience that’ll motivate me to continue pushing and striving for the potential God has given me!

What would you do with the $20,000?

With the $20,000, I would use it to help with financial issues while being a college student, allowing me to go into my graduating year of undergraduate school without debt and financial insecurity. Additionally, I’d be able to help support my family back home with any challenges they might be facing and, if possible, donate to surrounding community organizations and clubs geared towards the arts.
