Artist & releases

Raymores is a singer, musician, composer and music producer. In May 2022 he published the single “Pasito a Paso”. Before he surprised his audience with unexpected musical arrangements. “Ordinary Love” (January 2022), a disco-pop-funk fusion, sung as a duo with the Anglo-German artist Anna Stumpf. “Brillos”, a neosalsa style composition, presented in duo with the Colombian singer Giovanna Giacometto (May 2021). The release of his album “Click!” in June 2020 was his first step as a solo artist with a determined style, image and message. In his songs Raymores exposes his personality, life style and opinions in a natural way, which sharply outlines an image of a balanced, thoughtful, socially active, animal loving and talented artist.

Music style

Singing mainly in English Raymores stays with his Latin American roots by writing some Spanish songs, too. Viewing his music style as alternative rock is fair, yet not sufficient. Latin and Afro–American influences can not be missed by an attentive audience. You might even say that the Calypso Ukulele, the funky bass and reggae guitar elements are building the bridge to the surf and world music culture. Keeping the creative process simple, staying carefully away from piles of tracks and overloaded compositions, Raymores’ music is easy to listen to. Substantial and critical lyrics transmitted in a positive and easy going mood are a distinct and recognizable attribute of his music. His style might be comparable with important artists like Ben Harper, José James, Jack Johnson, Asha among others.
