Sun Ra. The enigmatic one. The visionary. The face of Afrofuturism.

Scholars interpret the pose in various ways suggesting it represents deep prayer or an attitude of mourning

Unexpectedly found myself living deep in the valley a few years back. Which initially led to a pretty strong onset of depression. Felt like I was missing out. Not living up to my potential. Wasting away. On the other hand a new relationship was blooming. I was surrounded by the beauty of nature without all the noise pollution of the city and it led to a new chapter of my life that I wouldn’t change for the world. This picture was taken in the shopping center right outside the neighborhood we lived in for 2 years just a couple weeks before we left for LA again. I wanted something that represented this transformation within the visual language of the project and this little pink mountain at the random ahh shopping center couldn’t have been a better representation truly.

My new album Bleachers to Stages is finally here... But let me tell you how it started.

On January 8th, 2024, I flew to Atlanta Georgia for 10 days to compete on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow Season 2.

For years before that moment, I had been doing the work, releasing music, shooting videos, performing, but none of it felt real in a way that validated the bet I made on myself when I moved to LA. I felt like I was still in the bleachers. Watching the game, grinding, just trying to get in. Nothing had happened yet that made the dream feel tangible.

This was the first moment in my life where I felt like I was actually in the game. The opportunity was larger than life, and standing there I felt like I was supposed to be there, like it was my time. Even though I was nervous, I was confident because I felt like all the years of preparation were about to pay off.

In the second round, I was eliminated. I didn’t see it coming. When the show aired, I received thousands of comments, DMs, and tweets with people saying I got robbed and that I should have gone further. Things were heating up for a minute, and then just like that I was back to reality, back to the 9-to-5, back to the grind.

Around that same time I dropped The Odyssey, a reflection on moving to LA, ten years of grinding to find my voice, and wondering if the music was ever going to pan out.

But Bleachers to Stages is different. This is about what happens after you almost had it. The hunger to keep going when you have every reason to quit. I don’t have a backup plan. All I have is a love for the game and a passion to be great.

From the bleachers to the stages.

yours truly,

Cody Ray
