Ray Johnson Beats

Ray Johnson is the CEO/Founder of 20DollarBeats.com. He has been playing music since he was 10 years old. In grade school, he was the first and only drummer to be in the high school jazz band before he got to high school. With some of the best teachers in Phila, Ray quickly became a valuable addition to just about any band. He could easily play "4's" (the process of playing the drums with your teacher (2 drum sets), and alternating between 4 bars) with his teacher with no problems. Early on he realized that doing "gigs" on the road was not for him. He wanted to be a "studio" drummer.

In high school, Ray formed a few bands and, but knew that being a rock drummer was not for him. Even at 15 yrs old, with no money, he used to record the drumset using sony headphones and re-wiring them as microphones like a studio. Although he could play any genre, and had a great ear, he decided to get into other things like DJ'ing.

In 1989 he formed his own DJ company and sustained an easy salary and created a big name locally. the jobs were pouring in. Around that time, he got into computers and digital audio (when it was in it's infancy) and knew then that this was what the future is all about. With 10 years of high end digital video production skills, audio production, and web/graphic design experience, 20dollarBeats was born. In 2006, he built 20DollarBeats.com to offer affordable, high quality music instrumentals to everyone, all digital & all downloadable... all the time.
