A professional musician for more than 6 decades, guitarist Ray Russell has worked as a performer, bandleader, composer and producer, touring and recording with countless musicians and composing and playing on movie, TV and theatre soundtracks; he won an ASCAP award for the most played music on American TV in one year. He has been a contractor, musician or musical director for artists such as Tina Turner, George Harrison, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and more.
In recent years, Russell’s avant-garde leaning solo work from the early 1970s has been discovered by a new generation of admirers, led by the international noise-scene vanguard.
