Born in Kingston, Jamaica, liL Ray has been around music his entire life. In the mid 70s,
he began forming his musical palate by hanging around the big sound system sets and the many influential dancehall parties in Jamaica. He was also heavily inspired by a wide variety of music that his father used to play at home.

During this period, Ray made many trips to New York City, before settling down for good in 1979. He quickly understood the richness that NYC had to offer in terms of cultural diversity, which also drove him to explore what the city had to offer in terms of music.

Before long, Ray found himself organizing and hosting parties in Brooklyn, during his high school years. Then, while attending college in the early 80's, he jump-started a weekly Reggae show at WAIC in Massachusetts. The radio show was such a hit in the Springfield/Hartford area, that it had to be aired twice a week, and ran for 4 years until Ray graduated.

Still during the college years, Ray was introduced to the legendary Paradise Garage nightclub in NYC (in 1982) and was simply blown away by the sheer rawness of the club, as well as the Music offered up by resident DJ, Larry Levan.

Soon enough, Ray became a Garage member, and fell under Larry's magical spell. This was where liL Ray started his love affair with the music that came to be known as House Music, and as a student of Levan's vision, this is where he got his inspiration.

In the decades following the Garage era, liL Ray went on to become an integral element in the NYC House Music scene. He was involved with various parties and groups such as House Nation, Wild Pitch, Behind Club Doors, Shelter, Clubhouse Jamboree, as well as his newest venture, Brooklyn Frenzy.

liL Ray is the founding father of NYC's annual long-running Clubhouse Jamboree, an exclusive outdoor House Music event, which will be celebrating 21 years in 2014. Some of the DJs who have played the Jamboree include : the late great DJ Camacho, Kenny Carpenter, Little Louie Vega, Kim Lightfoot, Herb Martin, MKL, Basil, Tyrone Francis, Wil Milton, Victor Rosado, Khalim Shabazz, Dj Spinna, Timmy Regisford, the Martinez Brothers, Naeem Johnson, amongst many others.

In addition to his countless gigs in NYC, Ray has also touched down in many cities across North America, most notably Toronto, Boston, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, and Miami to name a few.

Ray has worked with many of the top names in the industry…from spinning with Larry Levan at the House Nation parties, to sharing the decks with Tony Humphries, and opening up for Little Louie Vega, He's also opened up for the "Maestro" Timmy Regisford, in addition to being a regular dj and light man at the infamous Shelter.

Location: Brooklyn, New York ,USA.
