A world About The Swordsmen:

After high school, Ray moved to Cleveland, where he sang with a gospel group and became a soloist for various churches in the area. He was at the Cleveland Institute of Music for a year and also took courses at John Carroll University. In his spare time Ray likes to compose music.
