Auditioning for anything requires you to be as close to perfect as possible — a well-rested body, all the lines memorized and making sure personal appearance is top notch, of course, are all check points on the list. Unfortunately, a hive breakout has no boundaries and usually happens at the absolute worst times.
Christian R&B sensation Lee Vasi knows that all too well. In this week’s “My First Time,” the budding star took us back to her first audition as a toddler which proved to be successful even if the hives she was experiencing didn’t want her to.

Thankfully even at seven years old she possessed a level of talent that would lead to her nabbing the role — it was for a Munchkin in a production of The Wizard Of Oz! — but the ultimate lesson was always about seeing her true beauty beyond fixating on a temporary skin rash. Lee Vasi specifically being a musician that dedicates her lyrical content solely to praising God, it was an early lesson in understanding that love for Him begins with love for self. You’ll hear more of that on her upcoming debut album, Love Me To Life, highlighted by the recent single, “He Is.” The song has only been out for a few weeks, and fans are already gearing up for the rise of a superstar…with or without a hive breakout!
