Singer, songwriter, explosive multi-instrumentalist; Ray Goren is a true triple-threat. He has fashioned his own dynamic envelope of sound rooted in pop, hip-hop, rock and soul. Goren is also a world-class guitarist whose virtuosity, coupled with emotive voice, captivates audiences.
"I'll listen to Johnny Cash on Monday, then listen to Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole on Tuesday,"
says the musician. "I listen to them for the same reason: their lyrics. They're telling stories.
That is what I do in my songs. Tell my own story." Goren sets his lyrics to a soundtrack of
soulful hip-hop beats coupled with pop-driven hooks. His songs are lyrically driven and are based on a foundation of beats that fold-in real instruments. Goren performs solo -- looping his guitar, synthesizer and drum beats into his melodies.
His show is Performance-Art, a look into his creative process. Mesmerized, his audience
witnesses Ray building the groove until that moment of shared recognition when the song truly arrives --- an amazing artistic experience
