Hi. My name is Lee-San Gayle. I am a Jamaican musical theater performer, filmmaker, performer, singer and musician. This year I was recruited to represent Jamaica as a Senior Vocalist in the Talent Olympics known as WCOPA, the World Championships of Performing Arts. 

The “World Championships of Performing Arts” (WCOPA) is cited as the one and only “official Talent Olympics” for aspiring performers and entertainers. After 26 years of incredible growth, it is the only international talent and modeling competition of its kind annually held in or around “Hollywood,” the entertainment capital of the world! Similar to the Olympics, only invited and qualified competitors (called WORLD-STARS) represent their countries and compete each year in a fierce competition for “the gold”! 

This July, I will be participating in WCOPA as a Senior Vocalist, on Team Jamaica. In 2020, when WCOPA went online, I participated as a senior vocalist on Team Jamaica and earned a silver medal and I was a semi-finalist. I am very excited to participate this year in person in California as I believe that I will be able to truly thrive as a performer and overall individual in this grand one-of-a-kind Talent Olympics. I expect to learn a lot at the WCOPA Boot Camp presentations, and I know I will get to showcase my talent in an excellent fashion on the WCOPA stage. I am working now with my National Director and professional coaches so that my performances will earn me gold medals and a spot in the finals this year. I aim to excel in such a way as to make my country and my family proud. I also expect to socialize with other great creative people from around the world, learn from them and make links for future projects and collaborations.

In order to participate in WCOPA 2023, I need to get funding to cover all the associated costs including Airfare, Accommodation, Competition Fees, the uniform, and Ground Transportation. The total is around US$5,500 to cover these costs and for this dream of mine to participate in WCOPA 2023 to become a reality. My plan is to be fully supported by individuals and institutions through multiple sponsorship and fundraising efforts. I cannot wait for my chance to be a memorable successful contestant of the World Championships of Performing Arts this year. I need your help. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.
