I’m a performer with synesthesia, a condition that shapes my creative process. I don’t just hear music; I see it. Sound becomes colour, influencing how I create and perform. Growing up, synesthesia became my escape from the mental health struggles in my family, turning chaos into something beautiful. Now, it’s my way of challenging perception. My work isn’t just about music or painting; it’s about reshaping how we experience reality. My performances act as social experiments in galleries and art spaces, inviting audiences to see sound, feel colour, and engage with art in new ways. Inspired by John Cage and Meredith Monk, I explore the audience’s role as active participants. My live shows bring this fusion into clubs and venues, using my custom-built electronic set—four interconnected canvases reacting to sound. My work blurs the boundaries between sound, vision, and interaction from the Venice Biennale to the Tate Modern and Sky Arts.
