Ray J

Ray J
As among the most successful independent artists in the music game today, R&B powerhouse Ray J is leaving both major label artists and independent artists in the dust! Having matured before our very eyes as an actor and singer, there is no question that multi-faceted entertainer and fiercely independent entrepreneur Ray J is both grown and a superstar following the success of his top-selling 2005 CD Raydiation. It was the third CD of his career but, more importantly, the first he unleashed as the master of his own destiny via his own Knockout Entertainment company. That album contained the single that changed the entire direction of his career, the galvanizing ballad "One Wish", marking his defiant state of liberation after two albums on "major" labels. As an independent artist, Ray J earned his first #1 single on the R&B charts with "One Wish" which helped push his Raydiation album over the 400,000 sales mark phenomenal for an indie release in today's retail climate. Now with All I Feel (in-stores April 8, 2008), Ray J flexes even harder - partying, loving, and sharing reflections on life and growing older all set to the soundtrack of next level acoustic music and electronica tracks. Without a doubt, Ray J has his finger on the pulse of what his audience wants.
