My name is Skyler Ray and I am an addict and artist in long term Recovery and I have made it my mission to use my platform to teach recovery through my music and personal story. I grew up in foster homes and at 18 years old found myself homeless in the doorways with a needle in my arm. I spent over 5 years incarcerated. It seemed like my life was going nowhere and that I was alone, trapped in my addiction. When I finally started to get some clean time I began to realize that I wasn’t alone and that I had more in common with other addicts than I knew.

It can be scary being vulnerable, and sometimes embarrassing to say our dreams out loud, but I am here to show people through my music and actions that it is okay to dream, to be vulnerable, to be scared, to not have all the answers, and that our past does not define us. I will be a voice to guide a generation of addicts with my music and my story.

I am joined by my partner, Kala Mulcahy, she is an ally in recovery and my business partner. She helps me spread the word of recovery with her voice and talent, as well as her ability to assist in the success of our planning and execution. Together, anything is possible!

The Road to Recovery Tour as we have known it was born in 2022. Since then we have completed two successful years of touring and are about to begin our third! Our first year began by touring 32 treatment centers and gave us the opportunity to meet and speak with hundreds of addicts. Kala and myself drove from treatment center to treatment center, performing for all those that would have us, and spreading a message of hope. At each location we spend two hours sharing our music and speaking about my journey in recovery. Each session concludes with every person in attendance receiving a free package, including free merchandise, albums, posters, and personal contact information for us in the event that they might wish to reach out for help or conversation. I have spoken to many that we met last over the years, and some even regularly. We hope to expand our impact even more this year and into the future. For each center we bring our own equipment and music, as well as merchandise to give away to every addict in attendance. It is incredibly important to us that those in recovery understand how important they are, feel loved, and know they have a place to go for inspiration and acceptance.
