Jessica Ray

Pop/R&B Vocalist for Hire

Jessica Ray on SoundBetter

As a previously signed recording artist, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the industry's top writers, producers, and engineers. Now, I'm embarking on an exciting journey as an independent artist to reclaim creative control and infuse my music with more of my unique spirit. I can't wait to share this vibrant new chapter with you!

I am a dedicated Pop and R&B vocalist, primarily a lead singer, but equally skilled in providing background vocals with layered harmonies. My versatility allows me to deliver smooth, emotive vocals as well as dynamic and animated performances. I excel in vocal arrangement, ad-libs, and can contribute to songwriting when needed.

My vocal range is showcased in my song "Who You Are," where you can hear the breadth of my abilities. Additionally, I have recorded a song in Spanish, demonstrating my quick learning and adaptability, even though it's not my first language.

While I am flexible and open to various projects, I am also transparent and honest. If there’s something outside my current skill set, I will let you know upfront. Similarly, if a task requires more time, I will communicate that clearly. However, I am confident in my capabilities and assure you that you will be pleased with the results!

Interview with Jessica Ray

  1. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  2. A: Dedicating myself to delivering each product with the same care and urgency as if it were my own.

  3. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  4. A: I thrive on the freedom and creativity that comes from starting with nothing and building something extraordinary. Collaborating with friends and even strangers—who often become friends—is incredibly rewarding. Learning from others fuels my growth, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of gaining new skills and experiences. This job has its challenges, but the exhilaration of producing a great record far surpasses them.

  5. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  6. A: I am inspired by many people I have never met, but I am fortunate not to have to look further than my own team for inspiration. Blac Elvis, who produced Beyoncé's "Ego," and Anthony "Ant" Smith, who engineers for Usher, are remarkable influences. Additionally, Felly, who has written for Usher, Chris Brown, and Ciara, as well as Stanley Randolph, an incredible producer and drummer for legends like Stevie Wonder, continue to motivate and inspire me. My band, composed of musicians who have toured and arranged for some of the hottest artists in the industry, also fuels my passion and creativity.

  7. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  8. A: Most of my clients ask me to re-sing their demos, enhancing them with harmonies and ad-libs to elevate the project for pitching to artists. I also have clients to request that I create complete songs for their productions, including lyrics, melody, and arrangement.
