About Ray

Ray Rector was born and raised in Frederick, Oklahoma. His love for country music started at a very early age. His mom would play the guitar and sing to him while his dad was off at war. Two years later his dad returned home, the war ended, but the music never did. His dad bought him a guitar and his mom taught him how to play. They always encouraged and supported him and Ray has been writing, singing and playing ever since.

Ray recorded his first record "Love Account" & "Little Girl To Daddy Talk" at the age of twenty two. This record was a local success and received a lot of airplay on the Oklahoma country music stations. At one time it was #14 on the charts, it was also on over one hundred jukeboxes in and around the Oklahoma City area.

Being a responsible adult Ray chose to put his desire for music on hold to focus his attention on raising and supporting his family.

After his children were grown Ray pursued the career he had left behind once more. He performed whenever possible, always searching to fulfill the craving for satisfying an audience with his very own style of musical works. Music was in his blood and even after he quit performing he always kept writing. After years of dreaming about it Ray finally decided to dig through the hundreds of songs he had filed away and turn his dreams into a reality.

Ray  released his first album "Ray Rector Vol. 1 Legal  Tender Green" in October of  2000 with Angelreen Music Publishing, Inc &  HCR Records. Ray has since released his second album "Ray Rector Volume 2 Las Vegas Sun" which was released in 2010 and Ray is presently working on his third album "Ray Rector Tornado Alley" which should be ready to be released by mid-September of 2011.
