Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I wanted to be a footballer, but at the same time be a model, but in the end, I decided to just be a top model; it’s what I wanted to do anyway, so I’m happy.
Most memorable modeling experience so far?
It was the opening and closing of the LOUIS VUITTON fashion show. It was a beautiful fashion show. And the H&M X MUGLER campaign!
One song you have on repeat, and why?
I have a song that I keep repeating in my mind. It’s also a song of mine called ME AND MY BROTHER FOR LIFE because it reminds me so much of my brothers. I have 5 brothers, we’re 6 with me. We are inseparable, and I made a song for us, and I listen to it every day.
What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
Making songs and recording, being in the studio, and riding a bike because I also do acrobatics on a bicycle; I do jumps and swings.
What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
I’ve always wanted to participate in a movie or do something with TV anyway because I’d really like to try to be an actor.
What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
As I said, I also make music, and I will soon put out new songs and music videos. I hope people will be surprised when they see it.
What change would you like to see in the world?
I would like us all to live in peace with no anger and no hatred towards another person because, after all, we are all the same; I would like the war to end everywhere.
