About Frank Ray
Texas chart-topper, bilingual recording artist and former police officer Frank Ray is busting open doors in the country genre, adding his signature Latin flavor to the scene. Growing up just three miles from the border in New Mexico, Frank, born Francisco Gomez, was immersed in the best of both worlds - enriched by his Mexican culture and surrounded by Texas Country music. Praised as "easygoing contemporary Country with Pop-Soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice" (Rolling Stone), Frank's "catalog is representative of his fun personality and flair" (Country Now), expertly blending '90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers electrifying, high-energy performances that have something for everyone. With immense cross-cultural appeal and a panorama of influences, "One of the most influential Latinos'' (Time Magazine), Ray "is looking to stretch Country music's cultural boundaries" (Los Angeles Times).

In the three short years since embarking on his musical journey full-time, he has racked up two No. 1 singles and three Top 10 singles on Texas Country Radio, become a staff songwriter, signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records and much more. Along with being named an "Artist to Watch" by Rolling Stone and Amazon Music USA as well as a "Listen Up Artist" by CMT, Ray has appeared on USA Network's Real Country, been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and on NBC's TODAY. 

The latest from Frank Ray is the intoxicating "Uh-huh (Ajá)" that will have you so infatuated with your partner that you'll join as he dances between English & Spanish lyrics in this smash penned by Shay Mooney (Dan+Shay) & Pedro Capó (2 billion+ streaming artist). Produced by GRAMMY® nominated Dave Pittenger, Ray's heritage shines, reminding listeners why Good Morning America lauded him among "Latino country artists that are expanding the genre while honoring their roots." For more information, visit https://frankraymusic.com/.
