There are multiple interesting things about my family: my family is massively into mixed martial arts, and my mix is half Zimbabwean and Austrian :)
— How did you become a model?
A few weeks ago, I was in Oxford Circus with my girlfriend shopping, and I was approached by Djimi (from Williams Agency). He said he liked my profile, so I gave him my information to contact me, and we agreed on a date to meet. He took some pictures of me, and I became a model with his agency, and then he signed me with IMG about 4 days ago now. I am truly grateful for what is happening so quickly in my life, and I hope this is just the beginning…

— How did you become a model?
Originally I’m from Sulawesi in a small region called Puntari Makmur. I’ve always wanted to become a model, but in my hometown, there is no modeling world. That led me to move to Jakarta to attend a modeling course. After the modeling course, I saw a model search post on Instagram by my mother agency, so I applied to it and was selected from more or less 600 participants. With my mother agency, I started to dive more deeply into the modeling world through developments that they offer, and I have been modeling for five months.

My friends like to say that I’m different from other people, and I often get bullied for that back in my hometown because of the way I present myself more femininely than other boys there.

1. In my free time, I like to draw characters and figures along with their clothes.
2. I really enjoy putting on a full face of makeup and holding a small performance, whether it be for myself or for other people around me!
3. My favorite movie is anything that has to do with Barbie or fairytales. My top-of-the-tier movie is the Barbie Swan Lake movie!
