Artist description Thanks to the mastery of his splendid voice Raymond Wright is often compared to great artists among which Luther Vandross, Beres Hammond, Luciano, Barry White, Maxwell, just to name some of them. "While the world continues - Raymond says - I know at the end that it would be simple for the whole humanity to be in peace with everyone and there is an unstoppable strength in my soul to look for a better place, while life continues there are still many places, people and moments of inspiration from which to learn something. Jah gives us a simple but right word in profound situations and so the greatest part of the songs that I have written are born. The love for my children helps me to really maintain the music full of love and education. "Point Black" has to be for the liberation of the women of Afganistan and all the children of the world that need a better place."
