About Ray Badham
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I was born and raised in Papua New Guinea🇵🇬. I began playing music at 12 years old, often trekking to remote mountain churches with my missionary father. This experience of the transformative power of worship remains etched in my soul. Grateful!

“The Glory of the Cross”
Writing "The Glory Of The Cross" was a transformative experience. I was repeatedly brought back to the foot of the cross where I experienced an overwhelming sense of Jesus' love and mercy washing over me again and again. God's love is unshakeable!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Starting with playing ukulele at 12 years old in remote PNG churches, I had the privilege of contributing as a songwriter, MD, producer, and guitarist to 17 Hillsong Worship and Hillsong UNITED albums. I am overwhelmed by God's beauty and wisdom.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I am working on an album of church songs, specifically crafted in the local language of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
