Amelia Ray – The Soulveillance Tour
Event description
Amelia Ray is The Interpreter: part storyteller, part musician, and possible spy who has performed in 25 countries and speaks seven languages. Amelia’s unique perspective and songwriting ability inspires Cultural Cohesion – a celebration of our diversity and common understanding of our shared experience through music.
Cracking the code of what it means to be human, Ray has written compositions like “Ana no potable” – a song in Spanish in the voice of a disgruntled constituent to a lousy mayor, “Dream” – a tribute to musicals dedicated to anyone who’s ever pursued their passions, and “Hambone Says” – a performance piece that uses a contemporary past aesthetic to explore U.S. racial and music history, and which won the Global Film Exhibition 2024 Best Music Video award. Her newest single, “Pretending to Read,” sees our protagonist covertly people-watching on the subway while using a book as a clever disguise for her true intentions.
The San Francisco Bay Area native founded The Quarantuned Music Festival – a series of virtual music festivals benefitting artists affected by Covid-19 concert cancellations in 2020 – and Europe for Ukraine, an initiative to produce an original, multilingual composition in support of the Ukrainian people. Ray also leads financial confidence panels and songwriting workshops online and at conferences worldwide. The globetrotter may be hiding behind a book on a subway near you.
