Born in Liverpool, England, Ray grew up in the musically fertile crescent of the North West coast. He plays guitar and bass, and incorporates a wide range of local styles and traditions into his music: rock, soul, punk, folk, jazz, gospel, blues, and even Latin and classical forms. Whatever label is placed on his music, Ray's style and improvisational skill is utterly unique. He attracts wide audiences and commands the respect from listeners purely focused on his musicianship.Influenced by bands such as David Bowie, Television, Cardiacs, Daft Punk, Goran Bregovic, Spacemen 3, The Smiths and The Bunnymen, Ray has a strong interest in music that is repetitive, hypnotic, psychedelic, and melancholic. He is constantly exploring this sound, incorporating ideas from his many session experiences and compositions. Ray spent 2 years in a Liverpool studio, fine tuning his skills and style, recording, writing and working on projects with a diverse group of Liverpool artists, such as Sunprobe, Never Revolution, Unwinding Hours and Miriam Lamen. His work with these bands, as well as his solo material, unlocks the doors to his pent-up energy pushing the barriers of tradition and the art of sound. He now plays in many small ensembles, composes, goes on the road frequently, and is involved in numerous projects and recording dates around the world. Ray's current intention is to develop his music with a singer/lyricist as well as further developing his work with Sunprobe.

Atavista Baby is Sunprobe’s debut EP. The band all hail from Liverpool, although there’s none of the usual Mersey sounds here. Instead we have the pleasure of listening to a fine blend of Psychedelic Rock and Roll that fuels the imagination. Five expertly crafted organic tracks of swirling riffs, mesmeric melodies and an uplifting, absorbing battle between fantasy and reality. Enjoy the ride.
