"RayOSA" is the public screen name used by me, Ray Osiris Stein-Alvarado (Ray O. S.A.). I prefer to be credited by my full name, but this handle works too!
For starters, I'm a college student, a cisgender male who goes by He/Him pronouns, and a half-Jewish Guatemalan American. Professionally, I consider myself an "artist" above anything else but to get more specific, I am a multi-media (mostly video) variety creator. I'm extremely interested in internet and queer culture and want to create as much as possible while I can. Specifically I'm a big fan of how accessible the internet makes being an artist. I can call myself an actor, director, editor, writer, and all other sorts of fancy titles all by myself! Ideally when I'm out of college, my creative output will increase dramatically. Down the line I plan to work on music, video games, and more!
I am a huge believer that everyone is an artist in one way or another. I think society teaches us to repress our creativity and settle for lives without passion. Everything I make is in spite of this. I much prefer working independently on public platforms such as YouTube rather than getting involved with a large corporate machine to prove that anybody can create regardless of skill, experience, or privilege (though I acknowledge I have it far easier than many of my contemporaries).
I was born on April 20, 2005 and currently operate in the Pacific Time Zone.
For now, You can find my work on my YouTube channel or my Instagram page. I am currently based and grew up in Los Angeles, California but I was born in Detroit, Michigan.
