Raw + Rising: Treston J. Henderson

What happens when pure joy meets unwavering work ethic in one of Broadway's most demanding jobs? In this episode of Raw + Rising, Joshua sits down with Treston J. Henderson, the magnetic performer whose rise from TikTok discovery to Broadway debut exemplifies the power of authentic hustle. From booking the tour of Ain't Too Proud through social media to swinging in his Broadway debut, Treston reveals the gritty reality of building credibility in an industry that's rapidly evolving.

This conversation dives deep into the unique skill of swinging - covering multiple roles at a moment's notice - and how Treston's infectious positivity has become his secret weapon in an often cutthroat business. But this isn't just about performing; it's about vision. Treston shares his surprising long-term goal of leaving Broadway behind to build something bigger: a performing arts academy that will democratize access to high-level training. Raw, honest, and bursting with the kind of energy that makes you believe anything is possible, this episode showcases what it truly means to hustle with heart while keeping your eyes on a legacy that extends far beyond the stage.
