Sean Ray was first exposed to the electronic dance music scene as a kid in the early 80’s, making the transition from dance floor to turntables in 1993. Moving to Colorado for a few years, he played three nights a week at one of the most popular clubs in the area (the Underground) playing 80s, industrial, and house. Playing off his surname (Duckworth), he gained notoriety as DJ Ducky there and California where he now resides. Since then Sean Ray has gone on to play some very notable gigs both nationally and internationally, including:
Hosting and DJing Area 1, a twice weekly underground music radio program with Clear Channel's Kiss-FM for almost 7 years, underground events (including Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Daisy Carnival, Global Beach Music Festival, Open Air Sundays), clubs (including Los Angeles Entertainment Center, Insomnia Afterhours, Club Ruby/World, Vanguard, Echo, and more), television, radio, fashion shows, store fronts, private functions, concerts and just about every other imaginable venue kind and type of event.
Having earned the recognition of DJ of the Year by the 2007 Los Angeles Music Awards, Sean Ray continues down the DJ path and currently also writing, producing, and performing original music. Two of which are featured in an independent film and most recently, his original piece "Almost" has been nominated for this year's Best Electronica/Techno Song by the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. He is currently working on projects and has produced with and for Mark Lewis, Thee-O, Murk, Reza, Paul Oakenfold, Owl City, and many more. Sean Ray is also part of the production team Hollywood Knights.
As result of his hard work it is no wonder that Sean has been added to the Alter Ego Management roster with legends such as Juan Atkins and Underground Resistence or inducted into the Mixology team featuring Mark Lewis, Interstate, and more.
Keep an eye out for Sean Ray's deep and driving tribal remix of Thee-O and Steve Prior's "Muy Bien" out on Looq Records this winter.
