Ray began his professional career at the tender age of ten, performing with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Ted Heath Big Band & The Jack Parnell Orchestra supporting such stars as Sir Harry Secombe, Frankie Vaughn, Tommy Steele, Billy Fury & Sir Rolf Harris, to name but a few.
Ray has toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe appearing at the London Palladium, the Royal Festival Hall and The Sporting Club Monte Carlo, plus appearances on UK & European television.
Classically trained, Ray is constantly in demand as a studio session singer due to being blessed with perfect pitch and a natural ability to harmonize. His wide vocal range and warm tone gives an individual sound that once heard is never forgotten.
Ray recently travelled to Las Vegas where he performed on the stage of the Imperial Theatre to great acclaim. This lead him to being represented by a major agent, Stuart Moss, at Coast 2 Coast Entertainment on the East Coast of America. This agency also represents Engelbert Humperdinck and singer/songwriter Paul Williams amongst others.
Inspired by 'the capital city of entertainment' Las Vegas, Ray has created a new show designed to take you back to the magical 'Golden Era of Swing'
You will be enthralled and delighted as he sings and performs songs from such great composers as Cole Porter, Sammy Cahn, Johnny Mercer, Oscar Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.
This exciting new show can be performed to backing tracks that have been especially recorded for him or with a Big Band, featuring some of the best musicians around in the U.K today.
