An eclectic group gathered to see [Arin Ray](https://www.instagram.com/arinraycamp/) at The Roxy theater, It was fitting, not just for the diversity of those waiting but for the aesthetically suitability for musicians R&B genre.
Ray’s presence filled the room his, were, quite clearly, infinite. His performance was more than merely auditory; the vibe, the lighting, and his dynamic dancing created a multi-sensory experience. Taking ownership of a stage seemed second nature to him. And it was. Appearing weekly on X-Factor meant he was singing in front of large crowds (and even larger TV audiences) before his career really even started. A performance of “Stressin’ Out” can only be described as a sort of calm before the storm (of vivacity). Relaxation and thoughtful lyrics were merged into a song devoted to those who were, or had been, going through pressured times. Then. The storm. The lighting changed from a soothing blue into a lively red. “We Ain’t Homies” provided a reaction from the filled room that highlighted Arin Ray had really “come a long way since The X Factor”. (“for real, real, real”).
After a mere few minutes on stage, it was clear his talents were not closed to his singing and performing. The door behind observation opens a world of immeasurable abilities. His resume exploding with the most well-known names in the industry; from features with artists such as Kehlani and YG; and lyrical writing for those such as Chris Brown, Ray’s wide-ranging talents combine to create a force of energy. Energy he continued to thank the audience for but, nonetheless, an energy he created.
