Kevin-Ray is a 31-year-old American-Norwegian artist based in Bergen, Norway. He’s been producing music since his teenage years, not to follow trends or craft an image, but as a personal outlet. For him, music has always been a steady presence, not loud or attention-seeking, just constant.

Refusing to be boxed into one genre, Kevin-Ray creates based on instinct and emotion. His sound shifts depending on where he’s at mentally or what inspires him in the moment. Some tracks hit with weight, others lean into subtlety. His goal isn’t to impress, it’s to stay authentic and create something that resonates.

His work has been featured on radio countless of hours, first emerging through Lt. Wee’s Show on NRK. Though listeners may not always recognize the name, they’ve likely heard his touch.

He doesn’t chase formulas or fit into tidy categories. Instead, Kevin-Ray continues to build, evolve, and release music that means something, to him first, and to those tuned in.
