We had the good fortune of connecting with Raymond & Kim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Raymond & Kim, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
We both have a background in singing. In a short time, we discovered that singing together was very enjoyable not only to us but for those who heard us.
So we began to get more involved in the performance spaces and started to see the need for authentic love and inspirational music in today’s generation.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We are inspiring singers, creative songwriters and life-long best friends in an 18-year marriage.
The business name “Real Love Music” was ignited through our passion for music and each other.

“Love & Inspiration” is our self-proclaimed music genre which is uniquely derived from the message we share.

We have released numerous records through the years including hits such as ‘Celebrate Love’, ‘Rock 2 the Rhythm’, ‘Every Christmas With You’ and ‘Have Fun 2 Nite’. Our music is available on all major platforms.

Since 2005, together we have been performing for countless events such as concerts, sporting events, festivals, fairs, banquets, public/private socials, weddings and more.

Our style is often compared to popular duo groups such as Bebe & Cece Winans, Ashford & Simpson and Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell. Yet we are very unique in our own right.

Through the years, of course we’ve had our share of challenges. Our solution is always to pray and ask God for guidance, love, peace, wisdom and understanding. The goal is always to choose positivity and ignore the negative.

Many lessons have been learned. However, one major understanding is that everyone has their own audience, so we celebrate with those who celebrate us. Never compare yourself to anyone else; that will only dim your light.

Being confident in who you are and the art you express to the world is yours alone; no one can take that from you.

Our purpose is not only to share great music but to display and encourage others to experience FUN in love and life!
