Carter Ray Writes Love Letter To His Younger Self

Carter Ray began documenting his transition from female to male on the internet in hopes of raising awareness, and to help spread a message to young trans folks of love, validity, and the belief that no dream is too big; 300,000 TikTok followers and over 35 Million views later, he stands as a beacon of light and an incredibly influential advocate for the LGBQ+ community.

24^th Mars 2023, marks the stellar release of his beautifully transformative single, «Dear Victoria», a love letter to his younger self and a celebration of the person Carter has always been. As a trans individual, initially ashamed of his given name, Victoria, he now honours the beauty in this name and has come to the realisation that Victoria and Carter were never two separate people; they are one in the same, one human being embarking along a path of evolution, growth, self-acceptance and love. This upbeat EDM/Pop inspired ballad captures the joy and gratitude for an experience, a journey that ultimately shaped the man we know today.

«The more and more I became comfortable with myself, the more I started to embrace and love life. I started to see the beauty in my childhood. The strength within myself, that allowed me to be where I am».
