Life
June 9th, 1999, Raymond Hurley was born in Salt Lake City, Utah (Melody Kelly-mother & Raymond Hurley-father)and by age three, he had moved to Farmingdale, New Jersey. Farmingdale was a big part for Ray's life, he was well known all over his town by the day he moved there from the day he moved in 2011. In 2006, he was in his mothers car while she listened to her radio "95.9 WRAT" and a song by rock band KISS had come on (which he didn't know at the time)became a life changer. He had loved that song so much, he began researching everything he could about that genre, rock. He became influenced by bands like Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, & Motorhead. As he researched, he became fascinated with the bands he had found, he looked up more and more. By 2008 he knew everything about the rock genre. He decided to create a YouTube channel to prove he knew what he was talking about. He posted his knowledge of the genre on his channel, posting songs from his parents CD's synced onto his computer. By his second year he was known by famous people on YouTube with thousands of views on his videos. In 2009 (was the biggest year of his life) he had discovered a video game called "Guitar Hero" which had given him even more knowledge on his music. He discovered many genres in music, but the most important was "metal". By December of 2009, he knew everything to know about music, which meant he could produce a career with his knowledge. He decided it was time to make a name for himself on the internet. In 2009 he had created a Facebook account and eventually he was all over social media. In 2010 he created a Facebook group called "98.8 Rebel Radio" and it took off with a bang. It became the number 1 internet rock station of 2011. By 2012, the station had shut down because of internet failure, but is still around today in 2013. BY 2014, the station will make its big return on iTunes! playing the same stuff rock and metal 1960's-2000's listened to all over the world.
