#CMAFest24: From police officer to country star Frank Ray is representing his culture through his art

The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!

From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.

One of the artists we caught up with was Frank Ray. Before going all in on music full-time, he was a police officer protecting and serving his community.

We spoke with him about the life lessons he has learned, representing the Latino community, and giving back and bringing mental health awareness to the first responder community.
