Tray went on to become a international know professional dancer and choreographer. In the USA in companies such as, Milwaukee Ballet, St. Louis Ballet, Louisville Ballet and in Europe Ulm Theater, Magdeburg Theater, Göritz Theater in Germany and Tirolerlandes Theater in Austria just to name a few.
Being that Tray comes from a musical family, it would only seem natural that he would do something with music. Nina J. Shipp McGee, Trays sister the former “Miss Black Freeport” Gospel & R&B singer and Trays cousin who's work is known all over the world,Grammy nominee, producer, song writer Manuel Seal, Jr. Producer of stars like LSG, Mariah Carey,Mary J. Blidge,TLC,Usher,Xscape and the list goes on.
Even with these connections, that most would use, if they had the chance, Tray is determined to make it on his own, this could be one of the reasons why he chose a county that isn't considered by many statistically so strong in the European music market ”Poland”
Tray said: “ Poland has a lot of talented producers and artists...”
Thats why I assume that Tray assembling of only Polish occupants for his first album was already something that to my knowledge had never been done by an American artist.
Producer MSee (Marcel Chyrzynski) normally know all over Europe for his brilliant composing of classical music and two young ladies :
Asia Olchowska, Ewelina Kordy with incredible voices helped give the album which was later named ”Unity” that special flavor, the first promotion single off the Album ”I Do” was number one on the Polish radio charts just after one week being released and the follow up single”Understand” had just as much success.
Tray earned a few contracts in Germany and Poland, but due to the passing of his beloved mother”Celestine Shipp”, Tray left and went back home to Freeport, but on his arrival back to Europe, he decided to forgo the Unity album and make a new one, something with a totally different direction, something that would be more for the clubs, but still keeping that intelligent, influential lyrical story telling about peace,self respect and the brother hood of mankind.
Tray said : ” DJ. R. as the producer for this album is the total package, being that I'm considered as an commercial pop artist and him not just specialize on one pacific style, whether it's underground sounds or commercial, together we still bringing that urban hip-hop culture elements to the table on this album, DJ. R. trade mark sounds are recognizable on every track”.
Later this year the album,”For You” will be released”
