In this episode of Behind the Creative, Dr. Kristelle (@drkristelle) sits down with multi-talented artist, media personality, and rising musician Norman Wakefield (@allayemusic) to explore what it really means to build an authentic career in the entertainment industry.

From reality TV appearances on Maury and Tyra Banks to hosting on Atlanta’s Power 104.9 and launching his music career as Al Laye, Norman shares his journey of resilience, reinvention, and the courage to create something real in a digital age.

This conversation is a masterclass in authenticity, creativity, and building a brand with heart. Norman’s story reminds us that authenticity isn’t optional if you want to last in entertainment, and it challenges you to reflect: Where are you hiding in your work, and what would it look like if you showed up as the real you?
