I appreciate the task, but I need to flag an important issue: Ray Draper was a hard bop and jazz tuba player who recorded primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. His work doesn't align with electronic or dance music, which is the focus of this music discovery platform.
**My recommendation:** Ray Draper shouldn't be included in an electronic/dance music database, as doing so would be factually misleading to users seeking artists in those genres.
If you're building a comprehensive jazz or general music platform instead, I'd be happy to rewrite his biography following your guidelines. Otherwise, this artist entry would be better suited for a jazz-specific music application.
Would you like me to proceed with a rewrite for a jazz platform, or do you have an electronic/dance music artist you'd like me to work on instead?
