Debo Ray is a debut album that refuses to play by the rules. Bringing together vibrant grooves with her authentic voice, this record is bursting with personality and daring musical choices.
The album is co-written with veteran songwriter Jerry Velona and produced by Grammy-winning engineer Prince Charles Alexander (Usher, Mary J. Blige, The Notorious B.I.G.), whose skilled production brings both polish and punch to Debo's vocals and inventive musical arrangements.
Each track explores a different facet of the human experience. From the punchy, hip-hop-infused flirtation of “Time With You,” to the defiant R&B groove of “Gaslight,” to the afrobeat bounce of “Money” and the gospel pop spirit of “Now You’re Here,” which has surpassed 174K streams on Spotify.
What makes Debo stand out the most is that she writes from her own life experiences. Her voice moves effortlessly between intimate whispers and show-stopping belts, bringing listeners closer into her world.
Beyond the studio, Debo is a seasoned performer who with an international touring resume that includes appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Newport and Monterey Jazz Festivals, and the Hollywood Bowl. She is a longtime collaborator with NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington and a core member of Carrington’s GRAMMY-nominated ensemble Social Science. She has also performed and recorded with Esperanza Spalding, Antonio Sanchez, Bobby McFerrin, and the Screaming Headless Torsos.
Ray invites audiences into her world where vulnerability meets personal power, where genres fuse and where music becomes a vessel for joy, healing, and self-discovery.
