GOD-GIVEN TALENTS

Sa’Rayah wears many hats in this beautiful journey called life. A professional vocalist, recording artist, actress, creative producer, and motivational speaker, she proudly embraces each role. By day, she is known as "mommy" to a wonderful nine-year-old named Nylah-Sa’Rae, who brings endless joy to her world.

Sa’Rayah's journey with music began at the age of four, and her passion for singing has been a lifelong flame. Her first taste of validation came when, at the tender age of five, she stood before a congregation and sang her heart out within the sacred halls of a church.

At the age of sixteen, she took a bold step into the professional music world. Recording her music, she embarked on a journey across the country, lending her voice to the gospel recording choir, New Direction.

Today, she proudly claims nearly nine years as a full-time professional, with doors of opportunity flung open after her memorable appearance on NBC’s The Voice.

The balancing act of artistry and business is a challenge she navigates with grace. Being an artist often means donning multiple hats simultaneously, toggling between the roles of talent and business manager. She quickly learned the importance of separating these roles; without proper representation, respect can be elusive. Past experiences taught her that representing oneself as an artist can lead to trials and mishandling. Not everyone enjoys the luxury of trustworthy and affordable representation, but if you do, seize it. This separation ensures that as an artist, she can focus on her craft with a clear mind, earning a different level of respect.

Every artist knows the sting of rejection, and Sa’Rayah is no exception. Auditioning fervently for roles or

opportunities she deeply desires only to hear the word "no" can be disheartening. Learning to let go of the outcome after giving her best is crucial. A robust support system reminds her that missing one opportunity doesn't mean missing her destiny.

One of her biggest challenges has been parting ways with business partners due to divergent visions. Often, her talent was recognized, but her voice was stifled when major decisions loomed. The world of business sometimes demands artists to relinquish control and their overall vision in exchange for resources and funding. It's a tough decision that artists must make, guided by trust and clear expectations. Transparency from the outset is key, even within personal relationships. In business, especially when money is involved, clarity is paramount.

To Sa’Rayah, God's favor means walking through doors that no one can close and experiencing divine protection from imminent harm. It's about being guided to the right place at the right time or being steered away from the wrong place at the right time. God's favor flows in response to obedience and often leads to blessings that defy logic, rooted in faith that transcends reason. She's turned down seemingly "good opportunities" that didn't align with her spiritual values, and every time, something greater than she had imagined appeared. This is God's favor, the harvest reaped from seeds sown on fertile ground.

Sa’Rayah firmly believes that God equips us with talents that reveal His intended purpose for our lives. Her natural aptitude for singing and entertainment signifies her path. While she doesn't have all the steps figured out, she constantly seeks God's guidance to stay aligned with His plan for her.
