{{AFC comment|1=Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:MUSICBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does.
As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published {{strong|secondary sources}} that are {{strong|reliable}}, intellectually independent of each other, and {{strong|independent of the subject}}. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
The image used may breach copyright, which Wikipedia takes seriously, so should be removed unless clear evidence of its legal use is provided. If it is indeed the draft's author's "Own work", then there clearly is a conflict of interest (see below for more detail).
Please note that many of the references would appear to be from sources that are NOT considered {{strong|reliable}} for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc).
Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional CV, which Wikipedia is not; and contains prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK).
Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:MUSICBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX").
Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 22:00, 2 April 2025 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=Far too much unreferenced information, and close primary sources may not be reliable. I'm not entirely sure about notability, either, but let's first make sure this is properly supported by reliable sources, we can then turn to notability.
