In addition to his musical career, Wray also hosted an evening pop/dance music radio show from the Spring of 2007 to early Winter 2010 on Toronto's PROUD FM.[13]

His musical works have received support by a variety of celebrity DJs around the globe, and have also been supported on various radio stations. His production for Natalia Safran's single "All I Feel Is You" was featured in the 2017 Sony Pictures motion picture Flatliners,[14] starring Elliot Page, Diego Luna, and Nina Dobrev. Cajjmere DJs most frequently at clubs in Los Angeles and Toronto,[15] but he has also toured internationally to destinations including New York City, Mexico, Brazil, Serbia, Italy[15] and others.
