RAYKO/KRB
Rayko/KRB is an American Pop/Rock/Hip-hop act from Miami,
Florida. The band was originally formed in New Jersey by
Rayko Pipes (lead vocals/lyrics, real name Ray Einhorn) and
Kenny Ryan (guitars, real name Dan Rainey) when they
attended Caldwell College together in the early 2000's. The
band has gone through many different members and styles,
always maintaining a presence on both the local and national
music scenes. Popular Miami guitarist Milo the Great got his
start with Rayko, and continues to play shows with the KRB
and other major South Florida bands.
In late 2005, Rayko/KRB signed with Miami-based independent
record label BinaryStar Music. In February 2006, the band
released its debut EP, titled "Six" which was quickly
embraced by podcasters like C.C. Chapman and internet radio
programmers alike. In June 2007, Rayko Pipes was named
"Reader's Choice Best Hip-hop Vocalist" in Broward-Palm
Beaches New Times Newspaper. The following month, July
2007 "The RockStar Poor LP" was released and the emotive
ballad "Simple Love Song" placed 2 on The PMC Top10.
In October 2007, Rayko/KRB entered Bodog's Battle of the
Bands (Season 2) winning both Miami showcases they
performed in at Studio A. In January 2007, the band performed
at Tabu in Orlando and was one of 3 bands that won Bodog's
Florida Semi-Regionals and advanced to the Regional
showcase March 2008 in Atlanta, GA at Center Stage.
In May 2008, Rayko/KRB became the first Florida band in
history to play Sunfest, a major South Florida music festival,
multiple times. They shared the stage with The Black Crowes,
Stephen Marley, and John Legend, among others. It was the
2nd time the band played the main stage at this event in 3
years.
Rayko/KRB is in rotation on Clear Channel radio and is also a
strong performer in the Podcasting world; they have been
featured on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Podshow, hosted by former
MTV VJ Adam Curry. Also, the band has been presented on
Blade Radio in Germany, RockCast in Italy, Fumiaki Podcast in
Japan and Clever Little Pod in the United Kingdom, amongst
hundreds of others worldwide. The band was nominated for 6
Miami "Satus Quo Awards" in December, receiving Top 3
honors for "Best Hip Hop Artist".
After two studio albums (The Rockstar Poor LP & Six), a Top
40 worldwide finish (out of 10,000 bands) in the Bodog Battle,
tons of high profile gigs, and multiple awards- Rayko Pipes (
2007 New Times Hip Hop Vocalist of the Year ) is back in the
studio. Rayko/KRB will be releasing a new indie country/hip
hop album in 2009 with the indie-record label Bromfield Music.
