Ever since I was toddler, I had a fondness for singing and would create silly songs off the top of my head before I was able to speak actual sentences to other people. As my childhood progressed, I would then participate in local school and church choirs during my elementary days.

At age 14, I discovered Vocaloid music and learned about J-Pop. Ever since then, my passion for J-Pop blossomed and I learned how to sing and dance. With roots in the Odottemita (踊ってみた) community, I have been dancing as a member of “Jump Ship Dance” (formerly “CosStarDance”) since 2012.

In 2014, I started my idol career, becoming the co-captain of the J-Pop Idol Group “Rainbow Bubble” until September 2015, then I went on to found my own group, “NovaDrop”, which disbanded in 2017. After being a soloist for a while, although hesitant, in 2019 I participated in idol groups like “AmbiFlora” and “Vivacu”.  Some, unfortunately, didn’t turn out the way it was planned so I still continued my solo activities in the midst of working in and out of group settings.

During that time, I’ve been spreading Idol Culture throughout the world as the founder of the Overseas Idol Collection network and performing cross country at events like “Starlight Idol Festival”, “Texas Idol Festival” and “Kira Kira Pop”. I even made my international debut in Canada at “Québec Idol Festival”!

Once the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, that’s what marked the end of my journey as an Overseas Idol. In June 2020, I “graduated” from the Overseas Idol scene in pursuit of expanding outside of the J-Pop sphere and geared my focus on studying pop music from other cultures.

Throughout the duration of my career, I struggled finding what was right for me and in doing so, battled with loneliness amidst being around others. Learning how to be a part of a group was not a simple task for me but it was through continuous trial and error that I discovered a lot of things about myself. Had I taken the easy route, I wouldn’t have gained the knowledge I have today. Having the ability to overcome hardships and trying your best to be strong in the face of adversity is what I believe to be the beauty of an “eyedol”. I hope that by leading myself, it can inspire others to carve their own path as well!
