KINGSTON, Jamaica – Since the release of his first album in 2008 called “Many as One,” Jamaica’s Raymond Wright is known as the ‘Barry White’ of Reggae.
“The smoothness of his voice and the clarity of his words is what makes me like him,” said Maria, while interacting with Raymond during a live interview with Sir Daddy D on www.Reggae4Us.com.
Raymond’s singing career began as a youth in the church where he not only sang, but conducted singing classes for those who wanted to learn. From there, Raymond performed for local promoters, and was signed to Shocking Vibes Productions from 1998-2001 where after performing at Rototom in Italy, he decided to enhance his presence in Europe by spending greater amounts of time there, especially Italy.
With his signature style of singing conscious music as well as Lover’s rock, Raymond’s music has become a staple in the European market place where he has worked with labels such as Pow Pow International who produced ‘Many As One.’
The versatility in Raymond’s approach towards music has earned him reviews with UKReggaeGuide.co.uk., Reggaeville.com and Reggae-vibes.com, who collectively commented on the singer’s soulful voice as well as his connection with fans.
As 2011 begins, we invite you to reconnect with (if you’re already familiar), or be introduced to the Barry White of Reggae, Mr. Raymond Wright via his song “Things.” In the upcoming weeks, Raymond will share newer singles from his promotional CD sampler released on Pantalone Records, the artists’ record label.
