A LITTLE HISTORY
Coda Ray was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden.When she was 8 years old, Coda took first place in a National Talent contest. This was the turning point of her life - music became Coda's passion and she never looked back."Coda touches your heart with her voice", said Viktoria Gustavsson from OKEJ Magazine in Sweden. Coda, not yet finding her place in the entertainment world, studied voice, dance, piano and songwriting. Influenced by Sweden's home grown ABBA, Max Martin and Murlyn Music, she pursued songwriting and wrote songs with Leif Larson (Faith Hill) and Stargate. Then the pop music producer/ songwriter revolution was launched from her hometown, Stockholm. Britney Spears, Madonna, N'Sync (Justin Timberlake) and Backstreet Boys captured the attention of the world.Coda knew that music was her destiny and wanted a little more than just the pop influence. After high school she landed on a tarmac of JFK airport NYC, where she now resides pursuing her dream. She attended New School University, studying songwriting, vocal performance and voice trained under world renowned Dr. William Riley of Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Eamon, Usher, Monica Fame and Don Lawrence of Whitney Houston, Mick Jagger, Jon Bon Jovi and Christina Aguilera's fame.Dr. William Riley: "Coda has a unique, sultry intoxicating voice, an amazing range while maintaining her beautiful tone". Coda began singing in New York nightclubs where she met Nat Robinson, First Priority Music, CEO, her mentor and advisor. Robinson was impressed by Coda Ray and he introduced her to a team of arrangers, professional studios and engineers to work along with Coda's team of co-writers and producers, William Weaver, Tara Jones and Jmusiz.
