  • Bio

    California-born vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Amelia Ray has been performing her original soul rock music in the United States and in Europe for almost 20 years. She has shared the stage with Chuck Rainey, Elliott Randall, Rob Bargad, Maia Sharp and Kenny Aronoff, to name a few. Since taking up residency in Europe she has participated in festivals such as FestDobréBohunice (SK), Altstadtzauber Klagenfurt (AT), the International Festival of the Arts of Castille and Léon, Jazz Festival Madrid, and the Blues Festival of Ponferrada (ES). 2011 will see the release of Ray's eighth album, Scenes from an Icelandic Novel, borne out of her stay in Iceland's Skriduklaustur artist residency program in December 2008. The album features Mari-José Estivariz on bass, Jake Wood on drums, and was recorded under the tutelage of producer Paco Loco. Amelia's songs have been featured in films such as the Italian documentary Leaning Left, the German documentary Schwarzenberg (2007), and the powerful film about forgiveness, "A Killing in Choctaw" (2004). Her version of "To Turn You On" was included on Burning Sky's "Take Refuge in Pleasure: The Songs of Roxy Music Revisited" compilation.

    Use Your ABILITY To Do Good Things Amelia!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ABILITY ...

    "ABILITY is what you're CAPABLE OF DOING.

    MOTIVATION determines WHAT YOU DO.

    ATTITUDE determines HOW WELL you do it."

     ~ Lou Holtz

    YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO CAN

    USE YOUR ABILITY.  YOUR GIFTS ARE UNIQUELY YOURS!

    USE THEM WISELY!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Make Things That Matter your PRIORITY Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT  PRIORITIES ...

    "PRIORITIES - what's REALLY IMPORTANT -

    HEALTH, and doing what one WANTS TO DO -

    it's certainly not MONEY.

    RE-CONSIDER your PRIORITIES

    CHART your COURSE.

    SET SAIL with COURAGE."

    ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie

    Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange

    for it. Establish your PRIORITIES and GO TO WORK!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    MUSIC is LIFE Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MUSIC ...

    "MUSIC and the arts are not just something to make people

    FEEL GOOD. They ELEVATE THE SOUL and broaden the

    ENTIRE PERSONALITY ..."

    ~ Doc Severinsen

    OUR MUSIC COMES FROM OUR HEARTS ~

    AND IT ALWAYS HAS!  MUSIC FILLS THE INFINITE

    BETWEEN TWO SOULS!

    Hi Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GETTING EVEN ...

    "The man who seeks REVENGE digs TWO GRAVES.

    One for his ENEMY, and one for HIMSELF ".

    ~ Ken Kesey

    THERE IS NO REVENGE SO COMPLETE AS FORGIVENESS!

    Have a GREAT WEEKEND Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...

    "It is not the CRITIC who counts;
    not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
    or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

    The credit belongs to the man
    who is actually IN THE ARENA,
    whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
    who strives valiantly;
    who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
    who knows great enthusiasms,
    the great devotions;
    who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
    who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
    and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
    DARING GREATLY

    so that his place shall never be
    with those COLD TIMID SOULS
    WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."

    ~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States

    DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!  GET INTO THE GAME!

    Have a BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS I LOVE BEING ME ...

    "I can't run the fastest
    I can't swim the sea
    I can't type the quickest
    but I love being me

    I can't kick a ball
    or even climb a tree
    I can't roll in the grass
    but I still love being me

    You see, this is my life
    as others would see
    they don't know what it's like
    to really be me

    So next time I'm about
    rolling down the street
    don't think of me disabled
    but someone cool to meet

    I have lots I can teach you
    I have loads I can share
    you will never gain my wisdom
    if you just point and stare

    So maybe I can't run the fastest
    maybe I can't kick a ball
    but I wouldn't change being me
    not for you, NOT AT ALL."

    ~ Gemma Hayton

    Happy 2012 Amelia!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT A YEAR OF TIME ...

    As we look into 2012 we look at A BLOCK OF TIME.
    We see 12 months,
    52 weeks,
    365 days,
    8,760 hours,
    525,600 minutes,
    31,536,000 seconds.
     
    And all is a gift from God. We have DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT, EARN IT, or PURCHASE IT. Like the air we breathe, TIME comes to us as a part of life.

    The GIFT OF TIME is not ours alone. It is given EQUALLY to each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak—every man, woman and child has the same 24 hours every day.

    Another important thing about time is that you CANNOT STOP IT. There is no way to SLOW IT DOWN, TURN IT OFF, or ADJUST IT. TIME MARCHES ON.  And you cannot bring back time. Once it is GONE, it is GONE.

    The NEW YEAR IS FULL OF TIME.  As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT?

     ~ Steven B. Cloud
