Comment: Not a single source (let alone inline reference) is provided to verify the whole text in this draft. The tone is also largely subjective and promotional in nature. Independent and reliable sources are needed not only to verify the text, but also to establish the subject's notability, particularly as a singer. NeoGaze (talk) 14:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
