March 9, 2018Ray played the piano at my ceremony and reception and contributed to making my wedding day all I had dreamed! Ray and the band took care of all the musical details so that everything flowed and I didn’t have to worry. I didn’t go wrong with choosing Ray and team for my big day and I’m confident you won’t be either.

February 25, 2018The first time we met I knew the man was a professional. His attire and demeanor were both appropriate and pleasant. He was punctual and prepared for the church service we were playing. As a bassist, I love when a keyboard player is very clearly communicative about what music we’re playing, how to navigate it, any changes he/she might decide to make during/before, and cueing transitions into and out of musical sections in the midst of a service when there’s a lot of other things going around us. Mr. Shivers covered all that ground and more. Can’t wait for the next gig.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…
I was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological autoimmune disease known as Multiple Sclerosis, otherwise known as MS. MS decays & compromises your nervous system, which controls everything, from thought, to speech, to emotions, to other cognitive functions, ultimately, slowly destroying your ability to function. I remember exactly how it felt hearing the doctor deliver my diagnosis; my body just went numb, my heart sank, and my mind went completely blank. I sat in my car after the appointment endlessly reading about the disease, asking a million questions, and trying to figure out my next steps. As my health deteriorated over time, my abilities as a musician began to diminish. I was no longer able to play live in front of an audience and needed to find a way to preserve the talent I’d worked so hard for. That’s where music production came into play.
I was skeptical of my own abilities as a producer at first, but my damaged brain began tapping into aspects of music that I’d not yet known as an able-bodied musician. It’s like a sixth sense came out of nowhere. I started to apply everything I could to my work—knowledge of musicianship, placement, arrangement, balance, composition, sequence—and discovered a richness and depth I’d always sought after.
Some days seem surreal, gathering what little energy I have, sitting behind a keyboard & computer, utilizing the remaining function in my hands, just doing the best that I can. I have a long way to go and so much more to learn about myself and my music, but my focus is not on what I’ve lost anymore, it can’t be. Rather, it’s on what I have left. And with that, I focus on what I can do. My hope, ultimately, is that you’ll say “Wow, he did that.” My hope is that you’ll just push Play. Because when it’s all said and done I want everyone to know, that regardless of my setbacks & shortcomings, I played to be effective.
#NotDoneYet #PlayRay
My work comes in MP3/ WAV Audio format which is just a "push play" avenue, however, if you are the following, you may need to look into these tools to effectively capitalize on my services but are not officially required.
*If you are a church, I recommend a digital audio workstation (DAW) to effectively prepare, run, & correlate within your department's performances. I currently use Apple's integrated DAW Logic Pro X. Others include Reason, Pro Tools, Ableton, etc.
