In 1994, Stiltskin, with Ray Wilson as frontman, reached No.1 in the UK with their debut single Inside, also entering the European Top 10. As lead vocalist of Genesis, Ray wrote and performed on Calling All Stations (No.2 in the UK and Germany, 1997). Over a 30-year career, he has released 15 solo albums and toured the UK, Europe and South America, often performing over 100 concerts per year. His solo career began in 2002 with 12 sold-out shows at the Edinburgh International Festival. He has collaborated with Scorpions, Armin van Buuren, Steve Hackett, Turntablerocker, RPWL and Patrycja Markowska. His latest album, The Weight of Man (2021), is considered by many his finest work. In 2024, Ray joined Steve Hackett again at the Royal Albert Hall. In 2025, he digitally released two new songs: Voices (a duet with his wife Marika Wilson) and Whatever’s Written in Your Heart. A new acoustic EP, Bedside Stories, is due in 2026.
