about
From the smooth stylings of Sam Cooke to the lyrical beauty of Curtis Mayfield, soul music is rich in tradition, highlighted by an authenticity that few artists possess today. Troy Ramey, on the other hand, is an exception.
Part crooner, part troubadour and all storyteller, Troy is pure, unequivocal soul, evoking memories with each note he sings. With unbridled emotional power, Troy has an inherent ability to reveal his honesty and draw you into his music.
Though raised in a musical household, Troy was a late bloomer with regards to music. Focusing on athletics as a young man, and into his college years. After tragically losing his father in his sophomore year, Troy yearned for a fresh start and transferred to Boston College, where he was overheard singing at work by local musicians. He joined them for jam sessions and honed his craft, using music as a way to grieve.
Troy has remained consistent in writing & releasing new music since his move to NY in 2013. While remaining an independent artist, his music has been streamed over 25 Million times since the release of his first single.
But numbers and appearances aren’t everything. Troy’s most successful song is not among his most played on Spotify. “Woman,” released in 2020 & written as a wedding gift for Troy’s wife, has achieved a sort of underground virality among newlyweds. “Woman,” has been performed live for hundreds of weddings. While wedding performances weren’t part of the original plan, Troy continues to pave his own way while finding success in music & art.
Authentic, soulful and beautiful, Troy Ramey stands out amongst the masses as a much needed reminder that music comes from passion and sincerity.

“...Troy Ramey's subdued, acoustic cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You." Flying under the radar until now, his moving rendition of the tune from 1971's Blue served as much-needed proof on the show that you don't need to pull out all the stops and glitter for a powerful performance.” - RollingStone.com
“Every once and a while a voice will hit you with such purity and soul that it will put you in a trance. Very rarely is that same voice coupled with songs that are able to transcend generations and prove to be timeless. Troy Ramey possesses that very unique quality of pure vocal timbre and songwriting ability that could very well prove to resonate well beyond his lifetime.” - Evensound
“It’s a sudden and altogether rare quality to hear compassion embodied in the lilt of a human voice. Just a couple notes from singer- songwriter Troy Ramey will affirm this. His honey-soaked bravado is ripe with the pains of manhood—with loss and hardships—yet never panders to brazen resilience or bitterness. Instead, Ramey’s words sail and shimmer, wrapping listeners tight with a velveteen tenderness that speak volumes of love and reassurance. - Break Thru Radio
Ramey redefines for audiences what it means to have “soul.” R&B titans of the past like Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke might indisputably differ from Ramey in both aesthetic and cultural roots, but the essence of empathy through song, of perseverance through the spirit of triumph, is ever-present for all.” - Break Thru Radio
“Make sure to look out for Ramey's upcoming single that he said, "is probably my best song that I've done so far.”” - Newsday
