In this episode of Catching Up with Corey, I am joined by Roy Moye III, a Grammy-nominated entrepreneur, singer, and local celebrity in Wichita, Kansas. From his nine-year career in aerospace engineering to becoming a full-time artist and actor, Roy’s journey is a masterclass in pursuing one’s calling. We explore how he merged his engineering background with his passion for music to create a unique platform that inspires the next generation of scientists and artists alike.
Roy is the founder of Stem Music LLC, where he uses the power of song to teach science, technology, engineering, and math to children across the country. In our conversation, he opens up about his personal wilderness seasons, the courage it took to leave a stable corporate job, and how he is currently blooming through new music, a master’s program in education, and a deep reconnection with his faith.
In this episode, we discuss:
Success as Purposeful Alignment: Why Roy believes success is defined by operating in your calling and making a positive impact on others—whether it’s one person or millions.
The Inception of Stem Music: How a desperate attempt to make a math lesson fun with a “Watch Me Solve the Equation” remix launched a nationwide educational movement.
The “Born to Fly” Mentality: The story behind his upcoming debut album, Stem Music Takes Flight, and how his own birth in Germany and return flight at three weeks old inspired his prophetic title track.
Trusting the Timing: A candid look at the challenges of entrepreneurship and the importance of trusting that your wilderness seasons are preparing you for the success you’re meant to handle.
Faith and Identity: Roy shares his journey of reconciling his faith with his identity as a gay man and how giving God his yes has blown the doors off his world in 2026.
The Power of Small Wins: Why Roy advises others to avoid overwhelm by picking one thing to fix or accomplish each day.
Collaborating for Community: The beauty of his Wichita album, featuring collaborations with local high school students, drumlines, and even an upcoming children’s book project with my daughter, Nalah.
