Raay is credited as co-writer and producer for many Slovenian artists. He is credited as the composer on Slovenia's 2014 Eurovision song "Round and Round", and they both contributed to Slovenia's 2014 Junior Eurovision song with "Nisi sam (Your Light)" and 2015 Junior Eurovision song with "Prva ljubezen" (The First Love). In 2013 Raay co-wrote and produced the music for "My Way Is My Decision", a hit song performed by Slovenian alpine skier Tina Maze. Raay co-wrote, produced and recorded first two singles ("Muza" and "Heart of Gold") for BQL, a Slovenian brothers duo.
In September 2017 they signed a contract with Warner Music Group and became the first Slovenian artists to sign with Warner Music.
After BQL, they are the second Slovenian artist to reach the top position on the national official singles charts SloTop50, with at least two singles: "Here for You" and "Diamond Duck".
