Bio:

.. Raymond I. Herrera
I was born on December 18, 1972, born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am an award winning composer and producer of music for video games, television, feature films and transmedia. An RIAA certified Platinum-Selling recording artist, I recorded his commercial album debut with my first band Fear Factory in 1992, Soon after the album's release, I began a nearly two decade long recording and touring schedule that included over twelve commercial album releases and numerous world tours. In 1996 I started to secure music licensing of Fear Factory's music for dozens of video game titles, this allowed me to branch out and create Herrera Productions (Became 3volution Productions in 2003 with videogame industry veteran Laddie Ervin) as cross-genre composer-producer working on numerous videogame projects. My experience writing and producing rock, metal, industrial and rap music combined with orchestral, techno and other genres lead me to work on projects for many top videogame publishers and developers in North America, Japan and Europe including Microsoft, SEGA, Sony, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, THQ, Midway, Capcom, Namco, Atari, Majesco and others. Some of my most notable game projects include: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (1 and 2), Rainbow Six: Lockdown, Scarface: The World is Yours, MX vs. ATV Reflex, NFL Gameday 2004, WWE Smakdown vs. Raw 2006, Alpha Protocol, Test Drive 4, Too Human and Iron Man 2. Projects I have worked on have sold more than 30 million units in combined sales and have been nominated for various awards including the BAFTA award for game of the year. I have produced, composed or performed with notable recording artists including: Fear Factory, Arkaea, Cypress Hill, Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Everlast, DJ Lethal, Frank Black (The Pixies), Stephen Carpenter (Deftones), Puddle of Mudd, Gary Numan, Wayne Static (Static-X), Pat Lachman (Damageplan), Doug Carrion (Circle Jerks), Megadeth, The Prague and Magik Magik Orchestras, Jeff Kendrick & Mike Spreitzer (Devildriver), Junkie XL and others. In 2006 I created Temple Studios LLC, which is a recording studio located in Chatsworth, California. It is a partnership between 3volution LLC and B-Real's (Cypress Hill) Audio Hustlers Inc. Production Company. X-Zibit became a partner in the summer of 2011. Together we record, Produce, Mix and Master on our state of the art equipment and facility to produce top notch music, voice over and sound effects. for all entertainment mediums. in 2006 I co-created a Beverage company called Redux Beverages LLC, Which is a fully owned subsidiary of Redux Enterprises Inc. and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Redux Beverages created the wildly popular, Cocaine Energy Drink. Within 90 days, Cocaine claimed the distinction of being the fastest globally branded Energy Drink product in history. In 2008 I played drums with Arkaea along with former Fear Factory band member Christian Olde-Wolbers along with Jon Howard and Pat Kavanagh from Threat Signal. The band release an album entitled Years In The Darkness. In 2009 I started Alt-Strum Productions. (ASP) is in the forefront of the new age of digital distribution and artist promotion for the music and gaming industries. Participating as part of the newly launched Rock Band Network initiative ASP authors and programs existing audio and custom audio content which is then sold as playable Rock Band tracks to a video game audience of millions. In 2010 I co-created Freedom To Rock and I am on the board of directors. Freedom To Rock is a 501c3 non-profit organization (Loretta Palacios CEO) has become a strategic partner with The United States Entertainment Force Inc, a 501c3 non-profit, proud home of The Hopes and Dreams Project (Jerry Payne, CEO, and former USO producer).
