Actor/Singer Raymond J Lee and his alter ego “Rayneisha” is in the house! I had so much fun getting to know Ray through this conversation. Ray has recently just ended his run with Groundhog Day The Musical and is dishing on what it was like to be a part of the original cast on Broadway.
Ray shares his heart in this interview. He opens up about fatherhood, the ups, and downs he has experienced as an artist and how one of his most cringe-worthy moments as an artist prompted him to diversify his career as an artist!
I fell in love with Ray’s energy and kind nature and I know you will too!
In this episode:
- How to avoid falling into complacency as an artist.
- How being discouraged by those around him growing up as an Asian American wanting to pursue a career in the arts lit a fire in him to succeed.
- How to open up and share your truth on social media without appearing negative.
- What is his artist Superpower?
- What lesson he learned about diversifying his career while rehearsing for a musical headed to Broadway got canceled 3 weeks into rehearsal
