Who are we (Sharray Media) and what do we do?

Sharray Media – The Creative World of Raymond P Reid (Razdus)

Sharray Media proudly presents the extensive and evolving creative works of Australian songwriter, poet, storyteller, broadcaster, and multimedia creator Raymond P Reid, known artistically as Razdus.

Since 2024, Raymond has developed an extraordinary body of original material consisting of nearly 420 songs, alongside poems, visual concepts, travel reflections, theatrical works, historical narratives, radio concepts, multimedia productions, and documentary-style creative projects. Collectively, these works form far more than a traditional music catalogue — they represent a living creative archive documenting people, places, memories, emotions, and Australian life through interconnected artistic storytelling.

At the heart of Raymond’s creative process is a deep belief that songs should preserve atmosphere, memory, and lived experience. His works are rarely written as isolated commercial releases. Instead, each song becomes part of a larger narrative universe where music, poetry, photography, travel, history, theatre, and visual imagery merge together into an ongoing cultural chronicle.

Through Sharray Media, Raymond’s catalogue has grown into a uniquely personal multimedia ecosystem reflecting decades of life experience across music, broadcasting, theatre, travel, community involvement, and Australian regional culture.

A Songwriter of Observation and Experience

Raymond’s songwriting is grounded in lived experience and real-world observation. His songs frequently emerge from journeys, friendships, historical discoveries, local communities, regional events, emotional turning points, and everyday Australian environments.

Whether documenting a winter journey through Rockingham and Mandurah in Western Australia, reflecting on Newfoundland highways, exploring the industrial beauty of Suzhou in China, celebrating local Victorian music venues, or capturing the atmosphere of community radio and theatre life, Raymond’s works consistently focus on preserving the emotional essence of places and moments in time.

His songs are often accompanied by:
• original poems,
• photography,
• cinematic artwork,
• visual storytelling concepts,
• travel notes,
• historical references,
• and reflective commentary.

This creates a layered artistic experience in which each project becomes both a creative work and a form of personal documentation.

The Sharray Media Philosophy

Sharray Media views storytelling as an act of preservation.

Rather than chasing fleeting trends, the focus is placed on documenting experiences, communities, emotions, and observations before they disappear into memory. Many of Raymond’s works celebrate ordinary people and places often overlooked by mainstream culture:
regional halls,
waterfront cafés,
community radio stations,
small-town venues,
heritage buildings,
music clubs,
travelling musicians,
and volunteer organisations.

This philosophy gives the catalogue a distinctive authenticity and emotional accessibility.

Across the Sharray Media archive, audiences encounter:
• Australian regional identity,
• music and blues culture,
• theatre and live performance,
• family history and migration stories,
• friendship and loss,
• travel and reflection,
• historical storytelling,
• social commentary,
• humour and satire,
• and deeply personal emotional narratives.

YouTube – The Public Archive and Presentation Platform

A central component of the Sharray Media ecosystem is its growing YouTube presence, which functions as the public-facing presentation archive for Raymond’s works.

The YouTube platform serves not simply as a music outlet, but as an evolving digital exhibition space where songs, visual artwork, lyrical storytelling, and thematic collections are brought together for audiences to experience. Through curated playlists, video releases, and visual presentation, the channel documents the ongoing growth of the catalogue in near real time.

Among the most significant components is the continuously updated “New Releases” playlist, which acts as a rolling archive of Raymond’s latest productions and creative directions. Additional playlists organise works by theme, style, historical subject matter, travel experiences, community stories, and musical genres.

The visual presentation of the works — including cinematic AI-assisted artwork, thematic imagery, and documentary-style visual concepts — further expands the storytelling experience beyond audio alone.

In this sense, YouTube functions as:
• a presentation platform,
• a multimedia gallery,
• a historical timeline,
• and a living public archive of the Sharray Media creative journey.

Dropbox – The Production, Preservation, and Historical Repository

Behind the public-facing presentation sits a far deeper archival structure maintained through Dropbox and associated digital storage systems.

Dropbox functions as the internal preservation repository for the Sharray Media archive, housing:
• lyrics,
• poems,
• production drafts,
• alternate versions,
• historical notes,
• project concepts,
• visual assets,
• research materials,
• photographs,
• video resources,
• production planning,
• and developmental records connected to the catalogue.

This archival structure preserves not only the finished works themselves, but also the creative history behind them:
how songs evolved,
how ideas changed,
what inspired particular projects,
and how interconnected works relate to one another across time.

The Dropbox archive therefore acts as both:
• a production workspace,
• and a long-term historical preservation system.

Together, the YouTube and Dropbox environments create a dual-layer archive:
• YouTube presenting the public creative experience,
• Dropbox preserving the developmental, documentary, and historical foundations behind the works.

A Multimedia Creative Archive

The Sharray Media catalogue extends beyond songwriting into a fully integrated creative archive combining:
• music,
• poetry,
• photography,
• cinematic visual artwork,
• historical narrative,
• journal writing,
• performance documentation,
• and digital multimedia presentation.

Many projects evolve through several creative stages:
poem,
song lyric,
musical arrangement,
visual cover,
video concept,
and reflective narrative commentary.

This interconnected structure transforms the catalogue into an evolving autobiographical and cultural record rather than simply a collection of songs.

A Distinctive Modern Workflow

While Raymond embraces modern AI-assisted music technologies as part of the production process, the creative identity of the works remains firmly rooted in his own writing, life experiences, observations, and storytelling voice.

His creative workflow combines traditional lyric writing with detailed musical direction, often specifying:
• instrumentation,
• emotional pacing,
• vocal character,
• arrangement dynamics,
• Australian vocal identity,
• cinematic transitions,
• and narrative progression.

Each project typically undergoes multiple stages of refinement including:
• lyrical editing,
• structural balancing,
• critical review,
• visual concept creation,
• and thematic integration into the broader Sharray Media archive.

The result is a catalogue that balances prolific output with strong emotional and thematic continuity.

A Lifetime of Creative Foundations

The depth of Raymond’s work is supported by decades of involvement across:
• live music,
• theatre,
• broadcasting,
• arts administration,
• financial management,
• community organisations,
• and regional cultural life.

His experiences with bands, blues clubs, community radio, theatre productions, and volunteer arts organisations have profoundly shaped the storytelling style found throughout the Sharray Media catalogue.

These influences contribute to the cinematic and theatrical qualities often present in the works:
spoken introductions,
scene-setting lyrics,
reflective interludes,
dramatic emotional builds,
and strong visual storytelling imagery.

Preserving Stories Through Song

At its core, Sharray Media exists to preserve stories through creative expression.

The catalogue created by Raymond P Reid (Razdus) stands as an ongoing artistic record of Australian life, memory, travel, music culture, personal reflection, and community connection. Through hundreds of interconnected works, Sharray Media continues to document not only songs, but experiences — transforming moments, locations, emotions, and observations into enduring creative narratives for future audiences.
