isunray (said eye-sun-ray) from Wellington, New Zealand makes cinematic and sculptured electro-pop with synths, guitars, crisp beats and warm vocals to live and love to.
As a teenager he got deep into synthesizers and drum machines before almost dying from a rare brain sickness, completely forgetting how to play music at all.
“I remember staring at my keyboard, knowing in my head that I could play, but not actually knowing how to physically get my hands to make the music. It was a dark time.”
Some months later, after coming back to full health, he turned his back on his studies to take “just one year off” to do a music course. That one-year course led to seven years as a full-time musician playing venues up and down the country.
Eventually, deciding that he needed something formal to show for all his years gigging, he did a three year music degree in an unnecessarily hasty two years.
Unfortunately, though he now had a qualification, he wasn’t in love with the music he now ended up playing.
With new technology leading to the development of home based studios electronic music called again & he was finally able to make the music he’d always heard in his head - isunray was born.
Latest isunray release (with Cosmic Address) - Four Track
Latest single release - Lucinda - This Silent Divide - isunray ‘Drive By Night’ remix - described as "a synth driven - dance floor filler" Flash-trax
