Roxie Ray has come a long way in a short time. Since launching her career with old-school soul and funk band, Dojo Cuts, the sassy Sydney native has emerged as one of the soul revival’s brightest stars. In a short space of time, she has appeared on several international record releases and has performed continuously, often at some of the best venues Australia has to offer.
Drawing from her passion of the sounds and feeling of the jazz divas of the last 50 years and her undeniable natural talent, Roxie’s voice and presence is unique, striking and emotive. Her tone is ragged and silky, warm and deep, irresistible and menacing. It’s a full-on, straight-up, knock-out soul-sister seduction. And there’s no doubt about that when when she opens her mouth . ..
In ‘The Roxie Ray Affair’, Ms Ray has teamed up with her song-writing collaborator, guitarist Nate Goldentone, to produce a live act of Soulful originals and cool versions. The sound of this combo is strong, beautiful and dare we say, sexy! The performances show a perfect balance of self-control and spontaneity. Roxie pours her heart out for the listeners and Nathan lays down a solid and colourful rhythmic shagpile with vintage elegance. It isn’t retro, it’s classic!
Roxie has been working with the likes of lack of afro on his new album My Groove Your Move on tracks closer to me and tell me what happens now. It has had international recognition and doing well all over. Also featured on Milano- Jazz Dance Combo an amazing jazz dance compilation thats got raving reviews and making waves through and through. Ray Lugo from kokolo has created L.E.S EXPRESS the song get on up working the funk circle.
Yo chicka - all good here, busy trying to promote the album but all good. Moving house too so plenty to do. Send me a message with your address and I'll send you a proper copy of the album. Everyone has loved your vocals on both tracks - we should definately do some more stuff in the future if you'd be up for that? How's everything with you?
