PASTOR RAY BADY is an American gospel musician, singer, songwriter, producer, drummer, and ordained minister originally from Chicago who has spent his life serving through music and ministry. He began by sharpening his musical gifts in church and went on to play drums and contribute to drum production for some of the biggest names in gospel and Christian music, including Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Yolanda Adams, R.

Beyond his recording career, Ray has served in youth and pastoral leadership roles, including at Windsor Village Church in Houston, Texas, and has since been appointed Senior Pastor of Valley Kingdom Ministries International in Chicago, leading a large congregation and music ministry. He has also played a key role in the legacy of Shekinah Glory Ministry, a platinum-selling gospel ensemble known for praise and worship hits that helped define contemporary gospel music.
