This is the Art of Charm. Learn everything you need to know to crush it in business, love, and life.

Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger.

We're here with Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist, La Cray Moore.

We'll talk about making it to the top of the world of hip-hop, while being an introvert, growing up fatherless,

filtering in the right role models and mentors and how to separate criticism from valid feedback.

So enjoy this one with La Cray Moore, and with that, welcome to the Art of Charm.

We bring together the best thought leaders, teachers, and exceptional individuals to teach you how to be a top performer in life, in your relationships, and at work.

If you're new to the show, we'd love to send you some top episodes and our toolbox, where we discuss concepts like body language and nonverbal communication, persuasion, networking, negotiation, mentorship, and everything else we teach here at the Art of Charm.

In the US, just text Charm to 3-3-4-4. That's C-H-A-R-M-E-D to 3-3-4-4-4.

Everywhere else, go to theartofcharm.com. We may not have all the answers, but we definitely have all the right questions.

Alright, let's talk to La Cray Moore.

So La Cray, tell us what you do in one sentence.

What I do in one sentence, I inspire through art.

That's about as vague as it gets, but I appreciate it. I appreciate it. At least we got art in there.

So why don't I tutor your horn for you? Because I know that being humble is literally in the book that you follow.

So you want to Grammy, and was that in the gospel category?

Yeah, I wanted one in the gospel category. So first hip-hop artist to win a Grammy in the gospel category.

I would imagine. Yeah.

Elvis has something to comment because Elvis only wanted Grammy in the gospel category as well.

Not bad. Yeah. Good stage to be on up there with Elvis.

And you got nominated for, I guess I'll put this in air quotes, a regular hip-hop Grammy.

That was right. Yeah. I got nominated for a best hip-hop song.
