Elijah L. Bell aka. (Laray) is originally from Newberry, South Carolina, but now resides in Idaho.
Laray makes Rap/Hip Hop, R&B and Deep House. Some of his biggest influences are that of Michael Jackson, Prince, and more like KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Busta Rhymes, Aaliyah, Sade, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and many more.
His brand of production is mixed and loves to sing, but also loves rapping about his life and the struggles he's overcome. He plays a variety of instruments by sound like guitar and piano. He aspires to learn to play them professionally, especially the drums . Laray has been into music as far back as he can remember and his music is universal even in its own genre. He'll take a rap song and sing it, he'll take an R&B song and flip it like Biggie. He doesn't see a limit to his music and his imagination is very broad.
Laray is currently working on 3 small projects within Hip/Hop, R&B, and House, each one different in its own way.
Laray is very proud of the work he is currently doing with Sin'O'Matic Records and is very excited about what the future holds!
Laray may not be well known, but he is looking forward to growing as a multi genre artist. He's already performed at the Tree Fort Club in Boise Idaho and Co-Djed at the Gala in Mountain Home, Idaho.
Two of his quotes are "Don't worry about the what if's and I wonders" but the "Here And Now". Take one step and make a difference where you are now, and where you've been they will follow.
