Who are you?

Yoshi f baby...please say the baby.

What do you do?

Create and destroy.

What are you most proud of from 2018?

My mom said she liked listening to my mixtape American Raver.

What do you think will be your biggest challenge in 2019?

Existing and creating from a place of love and not fear is the only challenge or maintenance I care about. Love is what propels us and forces us to evolve in the best way. Fear is trying to "get" something or not lose what we already have.

That, and not dying before I have the chance to connect with other kids who feel the same way I do.

What do you think will be your biggest opportunity in 2019?

Traveling overseas for the first time with Talia Eve, playing shows in London and seeing other parts of culture I haven't before. Playing festivals would be lovely. Who's to say?

Where can we follow you?
