Prepare yourself for an extraordinary musical experience as American artist Ray Dalton brings his debut album, THEE UNKNOWN, to life with a live performance in Poznań. Known globally for his collaboration on the smash hit Can’t Hold Us with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Dalton is ready to captivate Polish audiences! His Poznań concert on February 23, 2025, at Klub Tama promises to be an unforgettable evening.
From Gospel Choirs to Global Stardom
Born and raised in Seattle, Ray Dalton’s love for music began at an early age. He started singing in the Seattle Children’s Choir before joining the acclaimed Total Experience Gospel Choir, where he developed his signature vocal style. His early musical experiences were steeped in the rich harmonies and emotional storytelling of gospel music, elements that continue to shape his artistry today.
Dalton’s big break came when producer Ryan Lewis stumbled upon his recordings online. Impressed by his soulful voice, Lewis invited him to collaborate on what would become one of the biggest anthems of the decade – Can’t Hold Us. The song, featuring Dalton’s soaring chorus, topped charts worldwide, reached over 4 billion streams, and earned two Grammy nominations.
That moment changed my life completely. I went from singing in local choirs to performing in front of thousands of people worldwide.
Dalton has said in interviews.
Despite his early success, Dalton remained dedicated to his own artistic vision, taking his time to craft a sound that truly represented him.
“THEE UNKNOWN” – A Deeply Personal and Musically Adventurous Album
Released on September 20, 2024, THEE UNKNOWN is more than just an album—it’s a musical diary of Ray Dalton’s life, filled with themes of self-discovery, love, and resilience. The record blends pop, R&B, gospel, and dance music, creating an emotionally charged and sonically diverse listening experience.
The album’s title track, THEE UNKNOWN, was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when Dalton, like many artists, was forced to reflect on his identity and future.
This album is about embracing the unknown, about stepping forward even when you don’t have all the answers. It’s about fear, hope, and finding your strength in uncertainty.
Dalton explained in a recent interview.
Tracks like “In My Bones”, “Call It Love”, and “Manila” showcase his ability to seamlessly blend heartfelt lyrics with infectious melodies. The production team behind the album includes Victor Thell, Jonas Jurström, and KIDDO, with final mixing by Michael Ilbert, known for his work with Coldplay and Taylor Swift.
Critics and fans alike have praised THEE UNKNOWN for its authenticity and innovation, solidifying Ray Dalton’s place as one of today’s most exciting voices in contemporary music.
