Interview
What music are you listening to / art are you checking out these days?
Right now, I'm listening to Nas, Al Green, Plies, Lil Wayne and Miles Davis.
Why should people, especially youth, vote?
I've been fortunate enough to have traveled around the world, and these experiences have made me appreciate that I live in Canada. To be able to participate in the fate of your own country truly is a privilege and a right, and voting should not be taken for granted. For youth, it's important to have an opinion and believe that you can make a difference.

For you, is there a connection between art and democracy? What is it?
I believe the connection is freedom of expression; to be able to influence people through your work and have the right to share your personal stories. We live in a country with unlimited opportunities, and music should allow the same liberty to express ourselves.
Why do you care about community, when it is so easy not to?
I care about the community because it has shaped me and will always be a part of who I am. Growing up, it's been my community that has supported me and I will never forget that. I’m proud of where I come from and will always represent my neighborhood; I don't think I will ever get to the point where I stop caring about them.
What do you look for in a politician? What do you expect from your MP?
Someone who is interested in more than a political gain, someone who has compassion for their community and its people. A politician should be honest and genuinely want to make the right choices and changes; to better the community which they stand for. I would want someone who helps the disadvantaged and who properly represents every race, class and status.
