Excited to make my debut as a Strathmore Artist in Residence at Fresh AIR! 🎹

I’ll be joining the rest of the 2027 AIR class on the Music Center stage for an evening featuring each of us, with music direction by the great @markgmeadows and special collaborations throughout the night.

I’m really looking forward to sharing the stage with this incredible group of artists and giving a first taste of what I’ll be presenting at Strathmore in January.

🎟 Students: $15 🎟 Friends: $25 with code AIR25

Come hang!

"Dont worry about the audience, just go out and 'have fun'..."
NEVER.
What's the point if we can't enjoy the frequencies TOGETHER?
I knew i had found some my people during this gig! From the very first song, until the very last, the experience was nothing short of beautiful! I'm honored, I'm grateful.

Pt. 1..... nights at @livejazzbaltimore ✨
"You Got Me" X "NoOne"
The feeling when everyone started singing. I couldn't even sing at that point. I admired the room and the people who seemed to understand and love music equal to or more than I do.
It was a beautiful experience.... and this was only the first part 😩🤌🏽🌹🤍🤷🏽‍♀️
@erykahbadu @aliciakeys @theroots @therealeve @common @questlove .

RDP family we would like to introduce you to our third partner Ray Winder!

Ray Winder is a Baltimore-born, Baltimore-shaped artist whose work blends cinematic soundscapes,
dreamy vocals, and strikingly immersive live performances. Since emerging onto the scene, Ray has
expanded her creative practice to include conducting, composing, and refining her signature ethereal
stage presence—all while developing the genre-bending aesthetic she calls Dream Grunge. Her
forthcoming EP, Vignettes, deepens this evolution. The project revisits the musical roots that formed
her: the pulse of Baltimore club, the warmth of soul, the intricacy of jazz, and the discipline of classical
training. A classically trained saxophonist raised amid the city’s vibrant musical culture, Ray channels
these influences into work that feels both intimate and expansive, grounded and otherworldly. Ray
Winder is committed to making art that endures—work that reflects a lifetime of exploration and the
boldness of an artist unafraid to reinvent.
