“And all of a sudden, just like that, you find yourself unfortunately not attracted to them anymore. Don’t worry, it happens sometimes. This is the phenomenon named “the ick”. Some parts were good! Like their strawberry flavoured chapstick kisses, but all in all; you’re over it. If you’ve suffered from any of the symptoms in this song please email dannyray@theick.stay.away”.

West London based, singer, songwriter and producer Danny Ray enjoys long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners and and writing songs about rejection, bad habits and his primary school teacher. With a background of inspiration ranging from Pixies to Plan B to Prince, Ray can’t help but write and produce songs you want to move to.

Although hard to pin a genre on Ray, his songs tend to appeal to the masses, drawing elements from your favourite parts of Pop, Funk and Hip-Hop. His upcoming EP ‘A Future Doesn’t Exist’ is packed full of funky bass lines and catchy choruses.

‘Strawberry Kisses’ has already been heard over 3 million times on Tiktok and Instagram Reels, where Danny Ray has been creating skits and showing the behind the scenes recording process, with views still climbing rapidly.
