The Marquis De Soul Show features the best in R&B, Soul, Funk, Blues and Acid Jazz where you’ll hear the obvious and the obscure, all carefully curated.

As a youngster growing up in the 60’s, Ray was exposed and enthralled by all of the sounds he heard coming over the AM airwaves on a small transistor radio. Included were stations from Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia (many hotbed cities of R&B). While rock was his main focus, he found himself slowly absorbing more and more of this soulful music through local radio stations that featured the genre almost exclusively. It made for a nice cross-section of styles that he continues to follow to this day.

He was a Mod befiore he even knew what a Mod was! A mobile DJ from the early 80’s-mid-90’s provided him with a platform to feature these sounds. By the late 80’s / mid-90’s, a period he describes as his “Acid Jazz Years”, he became even more captivated and motivated by this music, resulting in a weekly residency at a small club in Baltimore, MD that included DJing for Guru/Jazzmatazz and Brand New Heavies shows, among others, at the club.
