Rudy Ray & Co., a Toronto-based artist collective founded in 2013, blends African Jazz, hip-hop, blues, and soul to celebrate the city and its people. Led by award-winning Ghanaian trumpeter Rudy Ray, the group creates platforms for artists, inspiring growth and community healing.
Rudy Ray appeared as a special guest of Jon Batiste during his Be Who You Are concert tour and performed with Anderson .Paak alongside his brass band, Shout the Band. Rudy also made appearances on the cable television show Murdoch Mysteries and HBO Max’s Welcome to Derry.
In addition to being part of bands that opened and closed the TD Jazz Festival, Rudy produces The Rudy Ray Show, a 10-week summer residency program at Union Station that showcases diverse talent and fosters community through music and art.
