Ray was born Harry Warnow in Brooklyn. He first studied sound engineering at Brooklyn Technical High School, switched to the Institute of Musical Arts when brother Mark Warnow of Hit Parades fame urged it after hearing him play an original graduation composition called Metropolis. The "Raymond Scott" pseudonym was chosen from the telephone directory to avoid brotherly name confusion. There were soon other distinguishing marks.
