JUSTIN
RAY

Based in East Lansing, Michigan, Justin Ray is a definable force in the emerging field of Hybrid Music Production. Since 2022, Justin has moved beyond standard composition to become a leading voice in integrating human artistry with generative audio. He is the founder of r/hybridproduction, a global community dedicated to the philosophy that AI music requires a human pulse to truly resonate.

An early adopter of the AI audio revolution, Justin began beta-testing platforms like Google's MusicLM and Stable Audio before becoming a pivotal figure in the Suno ecosystem. His role as a Growth Specialist and early tester for Suno, as well as a consultant for Six Sides Media and Staccato. His insights into the intersection of machine learning and music have attracted attention from major tech entities, leading to interviews with a european research institute and recruitment interest from Meta for audio annotation.

Justin's technical workflow is rigorous. Utilizing Logic Pro and Ableton Live, he bridges the gap between raw generation and professional polish. By employing iZotope RX11 for spectral repair and a suite of high-end plugins—including FabFilter, Pultec, and The God Particle—he removes the "AI artifacts" to reveal the soul underneath.

His discography reflects this duality. LoserDub represents his roots in pure, human-made Indie Electronic, defined by optimistic nostalgia. Meanwhile, his hybrid projects explore specific sonic landscapes: VISION (Pop/French Touch/Glitch), Le Vide (Modern French Pop), Flawed Future (EDM/Hardstyle), and Disarray (Alternative Rock).
