Ray's remarkable musical journey began over 35 years ago, sparked by his early passion for collecting records. As a child, he taught himself to blend music using his parents' turntables. By the age of 13, Ray was DJing small events, and by 16, he had already made his debut in nightclubs.Drawing inspiration from the 80s new wave, the raw energy of east-coast hip-hop, and the melodic sophistication of Detroit techno, Ray has cultivated a DJ style that reflects his deep appreciation for a broad range of musical genres. His sets effortlessly fuse dance remixes, soulful house, and eclectic afro house, creating a dynamic and captivating experience on any given night.Ray's love for vinyl endures, and he regularly performs all-vinyl sets. His weekly routine still includes digging through local record shops and exploring dusty collections to expand his ever-growing library of timeless tracks.

In recent years his deep passion for music has resulted in a career change to focus primarily on his DJ career. This also spawned Ray to dabble into music production to bring a unique dimension to his DJ sets. You can catch his live mixes on Twitch.tv every week - twitch.tv/djrayrayca.With a renewed energy towards DJing, he is currently holding weekly residencies 3-4 nights a week and leading the fall/winter weekly event, "Sunday Casual".
