I know you guys are like “we’re tired of the nice guy routine with these artists,” but what we say about the artist is real. We do our screening so we can only have good artists. We don’t do write ups in our mag just because. So, I said that to say…this guy Raymond Gregory has some good music. It’s that pop it in your car on a mid Saturday afternoon music. My buddy calls it Contemporary music. I happened to be listening to the CD while working on the magazine. I forgot I was listening to it. I was in the zone.

Raymond Gregory is an AWESOME music artist whose sound I’m sure you’ll not only love, but will crave. I’m utterly addicted to his music.
As if that weren’t enough, he’s a nice guy, too!
His bio…
Raymond Gregory is a Pop artist from Southern California with a Jazz/R&B flair to his sound – and an interesting story to facilitate.
It’s as if George Benson inhabited James Taylor, and then fused together with
Brian McKnight. His lyrical style is poetic, soulful, straight from the heart, and greatly inspired by his amazing life story.
When Raymond was a child, he was pronounced legally deaf after a series of high temperature fevers. He lived without his hearing until his teenage years…when his hearing amazingly started to return. He now retains 80% of his hearing at the age
of 21.
Raymond says that his experience has solidified his self-purpose: touch people with music. Raymond says: “I’ve been given the chance to pursue my lifelong dream…music.” He has recently released an EP titled “Why I’m Here,” and the title could not explain the album’s theme any better.
From songs with themes of self worth like “My Name,” to questions of existence like the title track “Why I’m Here,” and straightforward anthems of love and praise like
“Sweet Love” and “Crazy” - any listener of any background can find a familiar emotion.
“Why I’m Here” was recently released to several digital outlets (iTunes, Rhapsody, Verizon…) in the winter of 2006, and Raymond now tours and plays shows to promote not only the album, but to connect with people through his music and story. Raymond delivers an emotional live experience…true, but also a fun, energetic, and dynamic performance, as well.
The musician in the crowd is quickly satisfied with Raymond’s musicality and guitar skill, while the layman is captured by his delivery and emotion (not to mention soothed by his smooth voice).
Whether playing to a crowd at a coffee shop on his acoustic guitar or taking the stage at a major event with his band, Raymond Gregory delivers a memorable experience that you can carry home with you. Most of all, you will just plain feel good after listening to his music.
I concur! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Check out Raymond’s MySpace page to view Raymond’s live show schedule,
hear samples of his music, and purchase his CD.
Happy listening!
