Q: Can you tell us what first made you
care so deeply about the planet and
people your age?
If I had a magic wand, I would use it to spread
awareness to everyone. Because even if we
manage to save the planet now, if people don’t
truly understand the impact of their actions,
future generations might end up repeating the
same mistakes—and we’ll be right back where
we started. I want to live in a world where
people understand how their choices affect the
Earth, so that we can protect it not just for now,
but for the future too.
I think it started a long time ago—I’ve always
loved being around nature and the animals
that live in it, but I was taught that the world
was dying because of the harmful actions
humans are making. I never liked the idea of all
the
wonders
Earth
has
to
offer
just
disappearing because of what we’re doing to it.
Knowing this made me really want to create
music that spreads awareness about the issue.
But what really opened my eyes was realizing
how much harm this damage causes—not just
to nature, but to people too. The LA fires that
interrupted daily life, the floods that keep
getting worse... It made me see how deeply it
all affects everyone and everything on this
planet. That was when I decided to use my
voice to convince people to change by helping
protect our planet instead of harming it.
Q: If you had a magic wand and
could change just one thing to
make the Earth healthier and
safer for kids like you, what would
you change first—and why?
I try to stay mindful of the small choices I make
—like conserving water, using reusable bottles,
and supporting fashion designers who use
upcycled or organic materials. Before I use
anything, I ask myself: what kind of impact will
this have on the Earth? I carry that mindset
into my music too by writing songs that raise
awareness. I also make an effort to talk to my
friends and family about it, because it’s
important they understand how even small
actions can help protect our planet.
It’s a world where everyone feels safe and
healthy- a place where people can enjoy fresh
air, clean water, and oceans full of life, not
plastic. Where animals roam freely, and forests
grow tall and strong. It’s a world where people
are mindful of their actions, choosing to
protect the Earth instead of harming it -a
place where nature is valued, and its beauty is
truly cherished.
Q: What are some things you do every
day—big or small—to help the planet?
And how do you try to get your friends
or family involved?
Q: Close your eyes and imagine your
dream future—what does that world
look like for young people, animals,
and the Earth?
