Check out my VIPAccessEXCLUSIVE interview with the outstanding Asia Monet Ray below!
AMR: I’ve always been a performer and competitor since I was three years old. I started with gymnastics then iceskating, and with both my parents being former world class athletes, you can guess where I got my competitive spirit from. They taught me to be my best at everything I do.
AMR: My appearance on Dance Moms came after my time on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition, where I was a top 3 Finalist out of 14 older dancers. Working with Abby Lee and being judged by Richie Jackson and Robin was very helpful in working on my weak points in dance and performance. By the time I appeared on Dance Moms, I had the confidence not to be intimidated but to really “attack” my performance with a “Winner Takes All” attitude. Abby wants perfection so I tried to give that to her every time I performed.
AMR: My favorite part of the show is that my entire family is with me everyday and every step of the way. Being at home and with family is more relaxing than living in hotels and missing them when I travel. I think it’s great that the show follows my journey through dancing, acting, and singing so I can show other kids some of the things they will have to experience if they want to be a Superstar! I work hard, long hours to be the best I can…the cameras do a good job showing that I think.
AMR: Everyone knows I love Beyoncé simply because she is the best! She’s a great vocalist, actor, dancer, and business woman. She’s strong and powerful like I want to be one day when I grow up. I also love Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga and Aaliyah! They are all very independent, strong, and beautiful women who inspire me.
AMR: I really don’t look back at what I’ve done at such a young age because I’ve been too busy looking ahead at what needs to be done. I am still working on new music, up for auditions, and making appearances while taking private lessons for dance and gymnastics. I have a lot going on but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I feel like I’m living in a dream, when other kids ask for an autograph or tell me I inspire them it makes me want to keep working hard to be the very best someday!
AMR: Wow 10 years from now? I’d like to be able to hear my music on the radio, keep traveling the world like my dad meeting my fans ,and performing. Most importantly I’m looking forward to finishing my school work and making my parents proud of me.
AMR: I’m working on dance with different choreographers that I’m hoping will expand my limitations and improve my strengths in a way that makes me a better dancer and performer. I’m hoping to hit the talk show circuit and land an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show or Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel.
