Tony Ray is a man of few words. “What’s up Josué” he says with a friendly voice every time I see him, then he smiles and continues with what he is doing. Always with a high level of respect. A true gentleman. For the last year I’ve had the opportunity to photograph his band Tribal Seeds which is led by his brother Steve. This time though, Tony was going to take the role of frontman for the first time with his solo project Maad T-Ray. What better place to do this than in his hometown of San Diego, CA. I knew since I arrived at the venue that I was about to witness something special and I did. Tony faced the crowd with honor, praising to the most high. Enjoy. -Josué
