Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is mostly hip hop and I have done contemporary. My biggest inspiration is definitely my grandmother. She had been watching me dance since I was a kid and always motivated me to go far.

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

It would impact me in a tremendous way being that i’m an upcoming youtube influencer and how much I love Ciara. I use to dance to her all the time and always always wanted to meet her in some type of way. I just never could figure out how lol. This would push me into a whole new position in life.

What would you do with the $20,000?

My biggest thing is paying back and up on things to set myself up for the future. So investing in not only myself but my family as well. This 20k would really help me get into a better place financially.
