2008-05-17 16:59:51 - Willam Ray Norwood, Jr. (born January 17, 1981), better known by his stage name Ray J, is an American actor, songwriter, record producer, singer and occasional rapper.

He is the son of gospel singer Willie Norwood and the younger brother of R&B singer Brandy, and is known for appearing in a sex tape with Kim Kardashian. Ray J was born in McComb, Mississippi. He is the younger of two siblings born to Willie Norwood, a former R&B singer and choir director, and Sonja Bates-Norwood, a former district manager for H&R Block. He is a cousin of rock and roll performer Bo Diddley and rapper Snoop Dogg. After appearing on the last episode of Moesha in 2001, Norwood stepped back into the studio and recorded "Another Day In Paradise" with Brandy, which was a Top Ten success in Austria, UK, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Ireland, the Netherlands and number 11 in Australia and France. The song was the lead single of the R&B/Hip Hop tribute Urban Renewal, in which he co-produced and performed songs. Norwood also worked with The Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins and Lil' Kim, and several other hitmaking producers and singers for his second studio album This Ain't A Game, a Hip Hop-oriented record that featured more of his rapping than his debut. The album was released in 2001, but despite a strong promotional push from new label Atlantic Records, it wasn't a breakthrough success. The lead single "Wait A Minute" charted in the lower half of the charts in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Great Britain. The second single did even worse peaking on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart only...album country rapper actor rock Blues concert festival or Actress pop CD or DVD single radio tv Movi ...more video news images and samples etc. see). videojukebox.bravejournal.com
