PRESENTED BY JON RAY
I live to inspire people with a struggle. Whether through music or community work, I try and give a message of hope, because hope is the essence of humanity, and I also try to inspire others to get involved. I am a singer/songwriter, youth activist, and patient with Ulcerative Colitis and feel that , although we are alone in this world , it only means that we are all alone together. And if you think of it that way then you will know you are never alone.
I've been lucky enough to work with amazing musicians along the way like Mike McCready ( lead guitarist of Pearl Jam) and PolySky. I've been lucky enough to be able to have legs to walk and a mouth to sing. I'm lucky enough to share it with all of you through Les RAV.
Les RAV is my first attempt at writing my own album. RAV comes from the hebrew saying, Shalom Rav, which means abundant peace. Les Rav , in french, means to accept or to not refuse. The name means "To accept or not refuse abundant peace"
The album is based off the central nervous system, spiritually meaning everything is connected , musically meaning, each base of the chords in most of the songs is a second inversion.. At least that is what my trumpet player said.
I'm used to having an 8-10 piece band
I'm used to being the booker, manager, front man
I'm use to songwriting with a someone else
i'm used to a lot of things
but this is all new
follow me on my journey of musical growth and exploration with Rob Wills(drums) , Naomie Cherie (violin) , and Joseph Salazar, (Synth, bass, everything master ), and some more friends along the way.
