Comment: Please include inline citations for all of your claims. Make sure they are all accessible too, as source 2 quite literally denies my access. Furthermore, please use more independent sources rather than things like his biography to establish notability per WP:MUSICBIO. Setergh (talk) 09:33, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
