Featured Musician: Ray Perez
A born and bred Valley Local, Ray Perez picked up a guitar,learned a few chords, and started a rock band in high school called Brio. They performed all the grunge rock standards: Nirvana covers, Fugazi, Porno for Pyros, but mainly were known for playing their original music. After performing local keggers and festivals, Ray moved to San Marcos for a short time before finding himself in Austin, TX, all the while continuing to write and record his original material. In 2004, saw the rise of the social media craze and Perez did not hesitate to jump in head first, finding every blog and website that would feature his music. He garnered attention by offering original songs and cd's for free to anyone that wanted them. Receiving responses from New Zealand, Belgium, Canada, and the UK, as well as requests from all over the States. Ray found himself at the right time in the right place through the power of the internet. When websites began to host MP3's for upload and download, he again took advantage of the medium and broadened his already expanded fan base. After returning to the Valley in late 2007 and continuing efforts as a web based troubadour, Ray finally found a means of offering up his free songs to benefit charity, yet another passion of the singer/songwriter. Now sponsored with Sun Fish Records as a Sun Fish Artist he is able to continue to do so, but at a much higher quality of recording then his past attempts. So make sure to keep an eye out on Ray Perez as he continues to grow and give you music as he believes it should always be...100% Free.
