According to the Gen Z star, it was her kuya Arjo who *inspired* her to love dancing. “It came from watching kuya Arjo, kasi kuya Arjo was also a dancer before. From watching him, I got inspired,” she shares in an interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph). “I realized how supportive the dance community is, and I also have always loved music since I was a kid.”
