Los Angeles, CA., March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MusicFX.io (“MusicFX” or the “Company”), a leading digital community connecting artists to their fan bases through NFTs, is pleased to announce details of the upcoming Michael Ray #1 Country Music Airplay Commemorative NFT.
To celebrate achieving his first multi-week chart topping single, “Whiskey and Rain”, country music star Michael Ray has decided to mark this career milestone by partnering with MusicFX to give fans his very first NFT.
The Michael Ray #1 Country Music Airplay Commemorative NFT will drop exclusively on MusicFX on March 22, 2022, and will be the first in a series of fan focused NFT experiences Michael is planning to release through the platform.
Michael is confident his NFT range will be as big a success with fans as his critically acclaimed music, which includes the four No. 1 hits - RIAA Platinum-certified “Think a Little Less,” RIAA Gold-certified “Kiss You in the Morning,” RIAA Gold-certified “One That Got Away” and RIAA Gold-certified “Whiskey and Rain.”
Features of the Michael Ray #1 Country Music Airplay Commemorative NFT are:

- Exclusive to MusicFX members
MusicFX is also delighted to announce that Michael has helped create a Golden Ticket NFT that will be hidden within 1 of the #1 Country Music Airplay Commemorative NFTs. This lucky fan will receive a unique VIP experience with two (2) tickets with VIP passes to meet Michael Ray at a show of the fan’s choosing. Five (5) fans will also receive a Bronze Ticket bonus that will reward them with an exclusive MusicFX Michael Ray merch pack.
Speaking ahead of the reveal, Michael Ray said: “It’s been such a pleasure working with MusicFX to create artwork that I’m proud of for this NFT. ‘Whiskey And Rain’ hitting number one was a group effort, not only within my team, but the fans played such a large part, so this is for them. We wanted to make this opportunity extra special, so we created the Golden Ticket bonus. I can’t wait to meet the winner!”
“We’re always trying to think of ways of elevating what we offer,” said Billie-Jo Aasen, co-head of MusicFX. “Michael and his team have come forward with some fantastic ideas, and we’ve enjoyed building those into his first MusicFX NFT.

About Michael Ray
For Michael Ray, music is his grandfather singing and sweating on a rural Florida stage. It’s the childhood refuge he found during the pain of his parent's divorce. It’s family and stories, history and hope. Ray says music saved him, but it did even more: Music made him.
In five short years, Ray has built an impressive foundation: four No. 1 songs – RIAA Platinum-certified “Think a Little Less,” RIAA Gold-certified “Kiss You in the Morning,” RIAA Gold-certified “One That Got Away” and RIAA Gold-certified “Whiskey And Rain” – plus “Get to You” and “Her World or Mine,” brings his tally to five Gold-certified singles.
Ray has garnered over 1 billion global streams, over 650,000 album equivalents, over 100 million YouTube views, and has performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 60 times. Now, two hit albums into that all-too-rare blend of critically acclaimed and commercially successful career, Ray has released Higher Education, a seven-song collection produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer Ross Copperman.
Proof that heartbroken wallowing can feel good if it swings, “Whiskey And Rain” marked his first multi-week No. 1, cementing Ray as the ideal bridge between vintage country cool and modern country’s best sounds.
