Making His Dreams Into Reality!

There is a certain assurance about being in
the presence of a person who is not only full of life from a positive side but
radiates the go getting confidence to make it happen! Roshon Fegan, professionally known as “Roshon,” is a young man on a mission
with a pretty solid idea of how to accomplish it. The Los Angeles native grew
up in a showbiz family carefully observing his dad Roy who is a professional
actor with major TV and movie credits as well as directing and producing. So it
is no small wonder where Roshon’s wise guidance originates and why he is on
target with his goals. However, Roshon was not one to rest on the family name
alone. Like all great professional children in the biz, he put in his share of
training with acting lessons and performance arts school. Roshon broke into the biz with a small role
on the blockbuster “Spiderman 2” at
age 12. TV roles and commercials followed.
The break through movie that put his name on
the map was the Disney smash hit film “Camp
Rock” where he played Sander Loyer and performed songs on the soundtrack.
His popularity continues to soar through the roof as Ty Blue on the Disney
mega-hit “Shake It Up.” Roshon
currently has a hit single released on iTunes titled “Got Me Like,” on his own “3
ina Ro Entertainment” label (pronounced three-in-a-row) which he and dad
runs. He has a show on YouTube called “The
Ro and Co Show” with his fellow actor friend Cody Linley. Roshon’s website
is loaded with the 411 on everything he is into and you can check it out at www.yaboyro.com
Being the fodder of the teenybop gossip
and fan magazine, how does Roshon handle the intrusions on his privacy? He
laughs with his upbeat demeanor and explains, ”It is kind of crazy. I don’t
know. People want to know what I’m about so that’s just what happens I guess.”
Roshan has a new three song EP dropping in March that he is super excited about
and he runs it down. “That’s going to be hot man! That’s something I’m really
looking forward to.
It’s called “I Am Ro, I Am Roshon.’ Its
three tracks that I fully produced and wrote myself. And its three tracks that
are really important to me because I’ve made a lot of songs in my life, I’ve
dropped a lot of stuff on the internet but it didn’t really represent me as who
I am as a person and an artist as well as these three songs do. So it’s really
just my introduction to the world with my music. So that’s why it’s real
important.” Being that he is equally creative with the music and the acting,
does one have more pull than the other in terms of what gets first priority?
This one makes him pause to ponder but only for a half a second. “Aw man, I’m
just getting the hang of it now but I’ve been doing it all of my life. It is
crazy. As an actor, I’m on the set Monday through Friday grinding it out but
right after I’m off set, I’m in the studio working on the music. So on the
acting tip, since I have a steady job, it’s really no way to try to put that on
hold, I have to split time. And by splitting time, that means it really is
50-50. I’m acting 24/7 and I’m doing music 24/7 and just splitting the days in
half to make it work.”
