In his early years, Don-Ray entered into the mayhem of the music industry with an excellent artistic production team named Maxelle. This dynamic duo of Don-Ray and Natacha Labelle (Stach) emerged from the Toronto urban music scene with a unique sound that was later released in HMV stores as a CD and went on to become one of the highest selling independent releases in 2000. This soon led to a nomination for a Canadian Urban Music Award for Best New Electronic Act in 2001. Other productions included a remix for Esthero (Sony), a single for Gerald Boulanger (Nice & Smooth), and engineering for Wade O. Brown (FACTOR).

Don-Ray then set his sights on increasing Canadian representation south of the border by producing “The Blue E.P.” for the independent label Guidance Records (Chicago). Overseas production included a single on the “Jungle Strut” compilation from U`jammn (Italy), and Moonstarr`s remix of Maxelle`s “The French Connection” on Musica Alternitiva (Portugal). Production in Canada continued with releases on Public Transit Recordings` (Toronto) “Code 416” and “Blue Night Network” compilations. He also remixed Fertile Ground`s “Come 2 Me” for the “Sounds of Baltimore” E.P. from Gotsoul Records (Montreal).

In 2005, Don-Ray will be releasing his first full length CD entitled “Upaya” featuring Lady Alma (4Hero, King Britt) and Navasha Daya (Fertile Ground). Show less
