Ray

Ray Gymenez I was born in Spain in February 1990 in the capital Madrid coming from a musician family background. I started my passion for music from a very early age. My parents and my uncle are flamenco profesional musicians as well as music performances and classes were put in place on a daily basis. I have always been playing percussion instruments as the Congos, Bongos, Indian table and the Flamenco “Cajon”. I started to take drums classes at the age of 14 at the Music Workshop in Madrid for two years and later on I have been taken particular classes with profesional drumers such as, Dani Perez, Angel Crespo, Kiki Ferrer and others. In 2010 I obtained a scholarship for the “ Creative Music” University in Madrid, where I also studied piano, harmony and musical production. I studied there for three years until I move into Barcelona were I joined in the famous and original band called “Lenacay”. In 2014 I travelled to New york were I took an intensive Masterclass with Chris Coleman at the Drummer Collective. I have been playing, recording in profesional studios and making different tours around Europe, taking part into several bands such as: Gospel Factory, The Locos, The Gangsters of the rhythm, Lenacay, Ojos de Brujo, Redtone, etc…
