2AM: Diving Into Self-Discovery, Re-Invention, and the "Here To Stay" EP with Eddie Ray

Brian's World

The blue light is on. Today's episode takes us to the West Coast to link up up with Eddie Ray. He's an artist who spent his younger years moving around the country, collecting experiences to share through music. It's a conversation that is sure to help shape up your 2021.

Eddie's focus on inspiring others is one that is not only a powerful way to shift the culture, it's what he feels is his purpose. "Inspiring the world, you know? Changing the world, you know? I feel like that's what my purpose is, you know. Just to make an impact on the world," Ray shared with Brian James on this New Year's episode. We also get to hear a little about Eddie's career in the military and how the initial moments post-service were some of the most important of his life. He talks about how he had to gather himself after leaving the military. "Getting out of the military, I had to re-invent myself. Had to really find myself," Ray shares. "I had my up days, down days, and days where I just [felt] stuck." The West Coast artist maintains that he wants to push people to find themselves also. "We all grow up and we all get told all these things. A lot of that stuff ain't really true and I just want people to be able to be themselves because anything is possible," Ray shares. His recent EP Here To Stay is one that he feels can help lead people to that self-discovery.

Please welcome, Eddie Ray.
