Yes! I am signed with the Clear Talent Group Los Angeles dance department. I signed with them in 2016. Fun story about how that happened. I was 9 years old and at a dance convention in Chicago. There happened to be an agent attending the event. One of the dance teachers mentioned that an agent was there but we didn’t think much of it. There were tons of kids there with lots of amazing talent! Read more>>

Yes, I do have an agent. I work with the wonderful Chad Beckerman at the CAT agency. I landed my first book and the art director I was working with suggested that having representation would help me a lot in the long run. I started seeking representation in April 2022. I did some research and looked into what different agencies had to offer and what kind of artists they represent. In the middle of all this, Chad and I met over instagram and took our conversation of possible representation to zoom/email. I found that Chad not only understood my work and goals but had a lot of great advice and inputs to add. I signed with Chad over the summer and it’s going great! Read more>>

I signed a Publishing/Admin Deal with a top Music Supervisor for Television/Film, and one who has been coined by Complex as one of the top 25 A&R’s in Hip-Hop history, the Legendary, Paul Stewart! Paul and I met through the ClubHouse app during the pandemic. We took our conversation off of the app and he granted me an opportunity to play him some music and he vibe’d with it heavy! We started to build and I was soon offered a Publishing Deal. Now, I’m striving and am making a name for myself, getting my music placed on Television/Film as well as building a resume to be able to work with a lot of the artists we love and have listened to for years!
