Hello and welcome to the website for singer, guitarist and songwriter RAY FROST
NEW SINGLE RELEASE!
As 2024 is drawing to a close, we reflect back over the last 10 months. Publicly, it may seem that Ray's musical activities have been a little quiet, but this couldn't be any further from the truth!
Taking time out to travel has proven to be of great value to Ray and his creativity. Journeying through vibrant cities and serene landscapes, from bustling market places in Marrakech, the tranquil shores of Santorini, to the creamy white beaches of Thailand. Each destination sparking a new idea, a melody just waiting to be woven into song. Throughout his travels, Ray immersed himself in song writing seminars where he connected with fellow artists who each shared their own stories and techniques. During this time, Ray also had the great privilige of performing in some incredible towns and cities.
Playing live has always been a transformative experience, fuelling the passion to continue creating.
We are excited to announce that Ray will soon be releasing new material crafted from the heart of his travels. This journey has been about more than just creating music; it's been a quest for connection, exploration and growth. We will be sharing these outstanding new creations with you soon, so stay tuned!
Ray will be uploading new material in due course to his DISTROKID profile, click HERE TO JOIN HIM

Debut Solo Album
Now Available!
Ray Frost has just released his debut solo album featuring twelve self-penned tracks. The album has been produced by Ray's cousin, Oliver Jones, a successful songwriter in his own right.
Coming Home quickly developed over a few months as songs were coming thick and fast and took only 6 weeks to record and produce. The whole ethos of the album is to be happy with what you have and not to dwell on what you haven't got.
Ray plays guitar and sings on all the tracks which also feature additional music by Oliver and banjo by Jody Stoddart.
