Ray Cheong is a definite rare breed of artist who dared to go out of his way to proof himself and beating the odds of radio favoring bubblegum music;
Ray Cheong is all about stepping up and rising up to the challenges.

“…his stock is fast rising as he makes a name for himself as one of the most competent, engaging and spirited sixstring
exponents out there. Rama Lohan (The Star Publications Malaysia)

“…few guitarists in Malaysia have mastered the slapping-tapping and percussive technique. Ray not only makes
it look natural, but easy.” – Alexandra Wong, Lifestyle Writer (The Star Publications Malaysia)
