Ray's story:
Born 1966 in Basel, a small (everything is small in Switzerland) industrial Swiss city.
All through my wild and psychedelic youth, the music was like a teacher for me.
 
We played on many bonfires and on many holly places, that i could see that music is one of  the keys  to connect my soul with the universe.
My first trip to Asia in 1994 was a spiritual rebirth.
 
"On an island in Thailand i found my home.
Since then i live in two worlds."
 
Influenced of my older brother Roger, who plays the guitar since his childhood, i started to sing in his band " Motz Art ".
In 1997 we made our first album and another two albums followed.
 
1999 was the year when i met Ralf Jones, a professional singer song writer. He taught me how to use my voice.
Over all those years i felt that the music speaks through me.
 
The birth of my daughter Nina, in 2003, changed my life again completely.
 
As i met Kosma Solarius in 2010, "alea iacta est", so we finally can present music for listeners.
 
 
Thanks to all who believe in me.

I have loved music since my childhood and from early on I have been making sounds/music.
Around seven years old my father got me into DJing. From this base I developed making my own music, with synths and groove-boxes, like the ROLAND MC 303.
By the time I was nine I got my first computer, a COMMODORE VIC 20, then a VC128 and later an AMIGA 500. Since WINDOWS 3.11 I work on PCs including Windows 7.
Finally I got my first Mac and I tell you... It's like driving a Mercedes Benz!
One of my secrets is the Cosmic Octave Tuning. You can read more about this at www.planetware.de and if you are a musician - you should try it out and tune in.
Jody Stoddart is the first featuring artist i work with and this is an really special partnership. Jody is an outstanding brilliant guitar player and with a lots of feeling. Exactly what my kind of music needs to become alive on stage.

I grew up with music and it never left me again.
"Music is energy in harmony."

Michael Franti is a globally renowned musician, humanitarian, and activist, celebrated for his high-energy live performances, socially conscious music, and unshakable optimism. With three Billboard No. 1 hits—“Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You”—and a track record of six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 albums, Franti has built a career on music that uplifts and unites. His concerts break down barriers between artist and audience, transforming venues into spaces of joy, connection, and shared humanity.

On March 28, 2025, Franti released his 14th studio album, Welcome to the Family, a collection of 13 new songs that embrace themes of inclusivity, self-discovery, and resilience. The lead single, “Break Up With Everything,” is currently climbing the US AAA charts, setting the tone for an album that channels personal and global challenges into anthems of hope and change. “Every one of us has a family—whether by birth, circumstance, or choice. When you put all those together, they form the world family. Right now, the world is filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and division. This album is about taking those emotions—what I experience every day—and turning them into music that reminds us we are never alone.”

To bring this message of connection to life, Franti will embark on the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek with stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive concert experience—where he often performs from the crowd, invites fans on stage, and fosters a true sense of togetherness—each show is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of unity and positivity.

Beyond music, Franti is the founder of Soulshine Bali, a forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, dedicated to wellness, creativity, and human connection. He and his wife also founded Do It For The Love, a nonprofit that grants live music experiences to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges. Since its inception, the foundation has granted over 3,500 wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives worldwide.

Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger. With Welcome to the Family, he continues to create not just music but a movement of love, inclusivity, and transformation.

Moscowfish is a way of thinking as much as it is a musical entity. Moscowfish was born and raised in the beauty and cold of Canada, but at this moment in time, we find ourselves living with our nano studio on Koh Phangan in Thailand. 
To see a little further into our world please visit moscowfish.com music and videos etc...
While here, we've become the resident live band at the Half Moon Festival, a bi-monthly event that brings in international Dj's, and over 2,000 enthusiastic party people. We're also recording an ongoing world music project with Tud Nakhon ตุด นาคอน some of which we've posted here on soundcloud (tud-nakhon-moscowfish).

Moscowfish

Tud Nakhon & Moscowfish is a collaboration between international artists from both Thailand and Canada. Finding the magic place where the 2 cultures connect is easy with music, but a bit more challenging with language. This first recording from the Ligor session was recorded both in Nakhon Si Thammarat and on Koh Phangan in Thailand. It is an ongoing project with many mixes already recorded that are going through the mix process, and many more yet to be recorded. It is an absolute pleasure to create with an artist like Tud Nakhon; he's a multi-instrumentalist with the heart and sound of southern Thailand, and a golden voice that would rise to the very top in any language. When the Ligor session is finished it will be available for downloads, but until then you can listen here for a sneek sonic peek.
