Nardo Ray is a songwriter coming straight out of cleveland Ohio. Growing up in the midwest his main influences were by the likes of Jay-Z, AZ, DMX, Golden Era groups such as CNN (Capone n Noreaga), Do Or Die and lets not forget the hometown legends Bone Thugs n Harmony. 



With having such a laid back personality, he can also flip the switch and give you a energetic side which is in direct correlation with his very lengthy sports career in football from little league to collegiate accomplishments in D-2 Football. Nardo Ray has taken something that was once a hobby into a full blown career that can lead to very big things in the future. 





One thing that has been mastered is the unique style that really gives of a incredible lyrical ability that can be reminiscent of the old school 90s era hiphop vibe brought into the modern era. It also comes with a melodic yet harmonizing touch that can be credited to his up bringing in cleveland with Bone Thugs n Harmony being the face of the city, only thing missing is the fast pace tongue twisting rap. 



in 2011, Nardo Ray was first introduced to being on the bigger stage on his 21st birthday when he performed at peabodies in Cleveland Ohio as a opening act for Bizzy Bone. Every since that day the motivation to pursue a music career really took storm and every event that took place whether big or small he was apart of. In 2013, Nardo Ray participated in the Our City Event held in Cleveland, which was sponsored by heineken in which he won the opening round of the competition.By winning the opening round it earned him a performance on the legendary House of Blues stage a few weeks later for the 107.9 White Out Concert which featured Mack Wilds, Rico Love and Kid Ink. Back then Nardo Ray went under the stage name Vega in which he changed due to his mother giving him the nick name Renardo. Most recently in 2016, he also was the opening act right before Shy Glizzy took the stage at the Agora Theatre.



Nardo ray made a statement in late 2016 by releasing an array of songs on soundcloud just to scratch the surface and give hip hop fans a new artist to look out for.
