Sukesha Elizabeth Ray, otherwise known as “Sushi” to most, is not who you would call your average artist. She not only wields a pencil, but also a microphone. A dual talent in the game of art and music, she transcends the line of both.
Born in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Sukesha always dreamed big. It all started with her doodles when she was a child. She drew over all of her notebooks, sketching characters that inspired her. When she was little, her father bought her her first video game for Christmas: Sonic Adventure 2, which later ended up sparking Sukesha's love for anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture. Her senior year in high school, she built her own business and started travelling the world with her art, selling it at pop culture conventions as well as online.
But Sukesha didn’t stop there. She found herself in an uncanny path. From her art burst forth her music career. She was discovered one late night in a club in Miami. She was at an art event, promoting her work. A producer pulled her aside and gave her inspiration as well as taught her the ins and outs of the industry. He even believed in her as a singer enough to train her for many months.
She worked hard, and didn’t let anyone stop her. Two years later, Sukesha was able to sign three deals with Warner Music, with her first music video already reaching 100,000 views in a short amount of time. Sukesha hopes that her artwork and music will influence the world. She has a strong will to share it with as many people as possible, and to bring a smile to the faces of everyone.
In terms of her medicine, maybe one day she could go back, but for now, let's just say fate had other plans…. ;)
