Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is the community I came from — The Pubs, public housing in Halifax, NS. Growing up, I watched talented people with real vision get overlooked because they didn’t have access or infrastructure. That’s why I built SNAPPS — an AI-powered music and business ecosystem designed specifically to give independent artists and entrepreneurs the tools the industry gatekeeps. My mother raised me alone and still pushed forward. That’s entrepreneurship. just buildin

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the gap. Every time I see a Maritime artist with real talent but no platform, no budget, no roadmap — that fuels me. I also operate on proof over talk. I’ve built apps, launched music, produced AI films, and created a full promotion system from nothing. When you’re building something that didn’t exist before, you don’t need external motivation — you ARE the movement. PUBTOWN to the world isn’t a slogan. It’s a mission I wake up

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d deploy it directly into three areas: 1) Paid ad campaigns to grow Blue Flames Mixtape Vol. 1 streams and expand the SNAPPS platform user base. 2) Complete production of Liquid Betrayal, my AI-generated thriller film, covering Kling API credits and post-production. 3) Launch the 902 Artists Fund at scale — providing grants and resources to Maritime hip-hop artists who have no industry access. This money becomes infrastructure for an entire community, not just one career.
