I played, engineered, and produced every single instrument on these recordings, except the lead guitar on the Unicorn Riding man Song. That was played by my Brother Mike Reeves. Also "When I'm Gone" was cowritten with Alan Strong. I directed/Co-produced/co-wrote/co-edited the music video; "Do You hear a Cow" that is on this page. I wrote and sang all the music and lyrics except for the "Audio Vox" car alarm sound on "Ray Stealing Cars" and most of the guitar chords in "She woke up in the mouning" Most of those chords were written by Don Kovacovich but played by me on the recording.
I play in a few projects around the Phoenix area as well as in a band with my mother and brothers in Northern Arizona. In the Metro Phoenix area I play with my band "The Phoenix Sonz" which re-creates the songs I've created in my Studio. Members of the Phoenix $onz are Claire Griese, Andrew Ginsac, Rocky Yazzy, Don Kovocovich, and a assortment of other musicians. (kindive like the Harlem Globe Trotters) I also play with a Assortment of Djs and musicians across the state of Arizona and constantly seek out other creative endevors of any assortment. If any one wants to approach me about art in any creative genre, I will listen to anybodies ideas; It either will work, or it will not. My music is available for licensing and is distributed by my independent label; "YOUR-RAY-NESS Records". I also have over a hour in sound track music recorded and I am working on 3 music videos at the moment as a director. Currently I am seeking distribution assistance, and look to colaborate with other labels, producers, ENGINEERS, and people in the entertainment, or political realm. Music and media are the most powerfull tools that humanity has to communicate to the world. Grass roots artistic and political movements are the only thing that people have to defend themselves against power. Grass roots art in some form or anouther, is the only thing in the world, that is a direct representation of the will of the people. I am looking to work with organizations that I feel I would be of great service to, and would also permit me to maintain creative control of my career
REASONS A LABEL OR SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD GIVE ME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Because I play and write almost everything myself, it will be very econimically feasable to record a body of work, because you won't have to pay me much to cover writing/royalty/musicain/video/ lisensing cost. And because i am a engineer/producer it will cost you next to nothing for production costs. I know many Amazing musicians to work with as well.
I have been playing music since I was 5, and I will be playing my phycotic shit when I am 80. It will be a sure fire investment in me. I am a trustworthy individual. I have over 3 hrs of original material recorded, and I've almost written close to 1000 songs. My career on the stage began when I was 9. As a vocalist, I am able to improvise about half of all my lyrics, and I can make up a song at any hour of the day/night:--All I need is a bit of Financial assistance, so I can spend more of my time doing such in my studio, as well as promoting my/our art, and, music, instead of spending so many hours at a full time job. I am convinced that given the opportunity and a little bit of financial help, I can create something truelly great, all I need is a Shot. My phone is 928 699 2605. Thank you for reading this.

When Ray Reeves's mother found out that she was pregnant with young Mr. Reeves, she started beating herself in the stomach with a bass guitar hoping to end the pregnancy... It didn't work, and now he's back, and this time, Its PERSONAL! Ray Reeves is not actually Ray Reeves, Ray Reeves is actually the second coming of christ, Disguised behind a clever mullet. For only $19.95 you can enter Ray's special Jesus Spaceship with the other "Ray-thiests" to enter the magical place of the special self-inflicted lobotomy that is similar to what Tweekers do to their souls with Crystal Meth., Only it is with Ray Reeves AKA jesus Christ!!! After his special training that left him as a Elite Crack Commando Killing machine by the age of 12, the Ray Reeves got tired of inflicting his lethal stadistic will, just to appease his own pride. He began to settle down, He then only killed if he had to because someone looked at him wrong. By the age of 17 all the killing began to wear on his sex life. So he quit killing for good, kind of -(Unless the mother fucker really deserved it!) then The Ray Reeves Might kill him; The Ray Reeves works in mysterious ways. Anyways after Fathering 23 women from 25 different women, The Ray Reeves Rested, And came out with his own Perfume for women, ("Smell Like Ray, BOOM! sexy", for Women) After that Ray Reeves Decided That It was time To get Busy with God. In the Footsteps of M.C. Hammer Ray Reeves Devoted himself to god. However unlike M.C. Hammer, The Ray Reeves Actually is god!! The Ray Reeves is always Making silly M.C. Hammer look stupid. So Isin't that funny, after all the rehab, the lipo suction, and the The Ray Reeves Porn Tapes that the gentile, modest, always humble soul, the soul of the Ray Reeves Inc. is Jesus Christ! The World is so beautiful sometimes that is makes the Ray Reeves Cry. Just Remember that when the Ray Reeves Cries, He Cries for your sins.
