Music career
Ray began recording for her first releases while studying for her English degree. In 2015, Havisham's debut EP was released. It was influenced by Miss Havisham's story in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations that a girl who turns against men after being heartbroken. "I felt like Miss Havisham was like a lot of women around me," Ray said. Ray is a singer who performs on her own label and has chosen not to sign a record contract in order to maintain the rights to her music. Durt, Stormzy, Wretch 32, and SG Lewis were among her debut mini-albums released in 2016. "My Hood" is a song about her hometown of Catford. She wrote it at a time when she had just been robbed and felt she just wanted to escape and felt she had no intention to return.
At the 2016 MOBO Awards, she was nominated for Best Newcomer. Ray was announced as the winner of the BBC's Sound of 2017 on January 6th.
