RAYE

RAYE, the 25-year-old south Londoner born Rachel Keen, has been on a real journey prior to her stratospheric rise to the top and the first #1 hit of 2023. Her long-awaited independent debut album, My 21st Century Blues, made an immediate impact, hitting the #2 spot on the UK charts and out-performing most other 2023 UK releases, streaming almost 1 Billion times in less than six months. As a welcome result of her self-fulfilling new work released in partnership with Human Re Sources, RAYE unknowingly created the song that has become synonymous with 2023 — the chart topping, viral smash 'Escapism' featuring 070 Shake — that earned her first Top 10 slots at Pop and Rhythm radio in North America. From the radio to the club, the single put RAYE on the global map in a whole new way and earned the Best Contemporary Song award at the 2023 Ivors, Best Social Trending Song at the Global Awards and contributed to Raye earning a BRIT Billions Award for earning over 1 Billion UK streams of her music (globally, over 4.5 Billion streams across all platforms). RAYE also received the Live Nation Best Female award at the O2 Silver Clef awards and has been nominated for Best International Act at the BET Awards. RAYE's earning critical adoration from press all over the world, touring with Lewis Capaldi, Kali Uchis and SZA on sold out shows across North America, Europe and the UK, RAYE continues her mammoth touring year with the announcement of the second part of her 'M21CB Tour,' with 25 headline shows in North America tour in addition to 15 shows tour of UK and Europe, Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, an iconic 90-strong ensemble for her Royal Albert Hall special performance and her first shows in Australia coming at the start of 2024.
