We recently had the chance to connect with Sarey Savy and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Sarey, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? When have you felt most loved—and did you believe you deserved it?
When I recently did my hometown show mid-spring this year. As much as I do believe in myself, I still have moments where I second-guess myself. Doing my first intimate show in White Center really brought a different sense of love for music, the people who support me, and also what I know I deserve now. It was an absolute blast and game changer for my confidence.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Sarey Savy, and I’m a Gay, Khmer, Pop, R&B singer-songwriter and producer from White Center. I’ve been doing music for over a decade, and was born into a musical family where everyone has some sort of knack for the music business. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both indie and major labels, being featured on editorials across different streaming platforms, and performing for people for years now. I absolutely love it, and it’s now propelling me into working on something special that I can’t wait for my fans to see. It’s definitely long-awaited.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
For the longest time, I thought that I would always be “poor.” I defined poor in my youth as not having money to do what other kids and their families could afford to do. Travel, cross paths with wholesome experiences, and/or being able to live where money wasn’t an issue. I now no longer believe that is the case. I believe I’m happy and starting to feel rich in other ways that are more fulfilling and bring more depth to my humanity.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
You get to define what success looks and feels like. You don’t need to rely on chasing accolades and statistics to do that for you.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
It’s something I’m still working on to this day, but something I used to believe in so much was that I need to always be on my A game at all times. Trying your best doesn’t always necessarily mean you’re going to crush it, no matter how much you prepare. So being graceful with yourself is incredibly important.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I’m actively working on this, but I would stop caring what people think about me and just do whatever makes me happy. It would almost be like a snap of the finger, and my mindset adapted instantly.
