Who iz me? My 1st Post - The Universe Featuring Ray
My name is Ray Syd Stern. I am the sole creator of The Universe Featuring Ray which is a music and art act from a small town in Ontario, Canada.
Thats a Photo from a recent show.
I have been in music since i was 16. Always and pretty much ONLY creating my own music, not big on covers cause I'd rather make my own music. (Although I just released a music video for a house music cover I did of Brain Stew by Green Day)
hmmm... Might as well add it here :)

I wrote, recorded and produced the music and also shot & edited the video! Lotta fun.
So my most recent life stuff is that I just got back from living in North Carolina with a band who found me on the internet.. basically they found my solo music online after looking for a year for a replacement singer and sent me a Facebook message saying "hey I know this is crazy but wanna join a rock band in America?" and I was like "hmmmmm....." so i checked out the music and thought, "Hey, I can bring some serious spice to this already dope music" SO i flew down for 10 days to feel it out and I decided to stay..! The band was called Grown Up Avenger Stuff but I was really adamant on changing the name, or at least abbreviating it to GUAS (which they eventually agreed to).
We toured, played SXSW, Canadian Music Week and produced 10 wicked tracks together that are currently unreleased...
I must add that all the while that I was there creating with them, I was feeling in my heart the disconnect from being away from my own solo music project.. My music is dear to me, as is everyones! Music is the medicine of the soul people! lol I know you know what I'm talking about lol
The Universe Featuring Ray stands for creativity, love, freedom of expression and art. That is who I am and that is the message that come to life in my work. Check out this video of my 1st single called "Lucky#" The song is composed by me (Ray Stern), all instruments written & performed by me (except drums) and the video is a combo of my ideas and my producer, Ben Srokosz's expertise.

I gotta lot of other material on Youtube too if you wanna browse! I make music, I create things out of clay, jewellery, I make my own stage props, choreography, design my promo material and I basically just do it all! If you like what you see or hear, please subscribe or whatever you wanna do cause my goal is to continue to expose my music to people and be able to support myself on my music alone <3 (PS-thanks for reading!)
I live with my 2 best friends and big supporters of my music and we live in a house we call "The Bubble" good energy and lots of love but I will save that story for another time!
A MILLION THANKS TO THE EYEBALLS!
