I would add ‘dancer’ to his occupations, as his performance style is strongly defined by dance. Influenced by Michael Jackson, he belongs to the same realm of singer-dancers as Jason Derulo, Chris Brown, and Usher. Twister Swagger (talk) 11:38, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not stating otherwise, find a reliable source stating he is a dancer like Jason Derulo has on his wiki page and you can add it MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:52, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
