Album Notes

A Richmond, Virginia native, Raye starte performing at age 14 with gospel legend Larry Bland and his Volunteer Choir. During their touring, they opened for artists like Andre Crouch and Walter Hawkins. Soon, Raye was working as a session musician on commercial jingles.

Raye's songwriting skills draw from a wide range of musical genres and influences. His live performance experience put him on the same stage as Mary WIlson and the Supremes, the Commodores, Gerald Lavert, and Alexander O'Neal.

As a producer, one of the first acts Raye worked with out of his home studio, was multi-platinum artist, Chris Brown.
Raye write, produces, and performs on all tracks with guest performances from Kim Gammond, Gary Shaver, Lavelle Williams (of Divine Sons) and more!

Raye writes and produces a seasoned mix of rock, R&B, Jazz, Gospel, and Soul.

"Silently" is simply stated as an album "you can drive to"
