British singer-songwriter RAYE shines as one of the brightest stars in music today, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, 5 Billion global Spotify streams, an Ivor Novello Award, and a track record of writing for the industry’s biggest names. Since her debut in 2014, RAYE has undergone a remarkable journey to stardom. Winning a historic six 2024 BRIT Awards – the most of any artist in a single year – her long-awaited debut album “My 21st Century Blues” made an immediate impact. As a welcome result of her self-fulfilling work released independently, RAYE unknowingly created the song that became synonymous with 2023. The global smash “Escapism.” not only became the largest selling single by a female British artist in 2023, but it also earned RAYE her first UK #1 and entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US where it’s since been certified Platinum. Following support tours with Lewis Capaldi, Kali Uchis, and SZA, RAYE performed 130 headline shows including a rousing set at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. Her career-defining turn at Royal Albert Hall – accompanied by a full orchestra and gospel choir – received a televised BBC special for the ages with critics heralding RAYE as “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” (The Telegraph). This year, she gears up to perform her “My 21st Century Symphony” to a sold-out crowd of 20,000 at The O2 Arena prior to making her debut at Coachella. After playing and owning the pop game, RAYE bet on herself and won.

Rachel Agatha Keen (born 24 October 1997), known professionally as Raye, is an English singer and songwriter. She first rose to prominence after signing with Polydor Records, and later her 2016 collaborations, "By Your Side" and "You Don't Know Me" with Jonas Blue and Jax Jones respectively. She also gained media attention following her departure from Polydor after the label allegedly refused to release her debut album.
Her debut studio album, My 21st Century Blues (2023) was released independently to critical and commercial success, and won a total of six Brit Awards including the Brit Award for British Album of the Year at the 2024 BRIT Awards. The album's single, "Escapism", found viral success on TikTok before becoming her first song to top the UK Singles Chart. It also became her first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2024, she received nominations for three Grammy Awards including the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Raye has also written songs for other acts, including Beyoncé, Little Mix, Rihanna, David Guetta, John Legend and Ellie Goulding.
