ABOUT RAYE

The multi-award-winning British artist RAYE is redefining modern pop music through raw storytelling, genre-defying sound, and record-breaking success. The three-time GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer made history at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards as the first artist ever nominated for both “Best New Artist” and “Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical)” in the same year. This milestone followed the South London singer’s record-breaking sweep at the 2024 BRIT Awards, where she took home six awards—the most by any artist in a single year—and became the first woman ever honored as “Songwriter of the Year.” With viral performances at the 2025 GRAMMYs (“Oscar Winning Tears.”) and the Academy Awards (James Bondtribute), RAYE has proven herself to be one of the industry’s most exciting voices.

Since her 2014 debut, RAYE has charted eighteen Top 40 UK singles and surpassed over 10 Billion cumulative streams. Her genre-defying catalog—covering pop, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, big band, and dance—includes collaborations with Stormzy, Central Cee, Lucky Daye, David Guetta, Jax Jones, and Disclosure. A prolific songwriter, RAYE has also penned hits for icons such as Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as JADE and Halle.

RAYE’s 2023 debut album, My 21st Century Blues (Human Re Sources/The Orchard), was a decade in the making and marked her first as an independent artist. The record achieved unprecedented critical and international commercial success, propelled by the inescapable worldwide smash hit “Escapism.” The single not only became her first career UK No. 1, but also reached Top 10 in over 20 countries, was certified RIAA Platinum in the US, and became the UK’s largest-selling single by a female British artist in 2023. Further, the album led to over 150 headline shows across the globe, including standout performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, Austin City Limits, Corona Capital, and Montreux Jazz Festival.

Her one-night-only show at London’s Royal Albert Hall—backed by a 50-piece orchestra and gospel choir—was released on vinyl and broadcast on PBS and BBC, with critics hailing her as “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” (The Telegraph). 2024 marked another breakthrough year for the “Oscar Winning Tears.” singer, as she made history at the BRIT Awards, opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, and gave a career-defining debut on Saturday Night Live. Additional high-profile TV appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, American Music Awards, The Daily Show, MTV EMAs, and the BRIT Awards further solidified her as a bona fide performer.

RAYE kicked off 2025 by joining forces with LISA and Doja Cat on the global anthem “Born Again,” which she co-wrote and co-produced and recently earned the trio an MTV Video Music Award. She also collaborated with 9-time GRAMMY-winning producer Mark Ronson on two jazz-influenced singles, “Suzanne” and “Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News,” the latter of which featured on the star-studded F1® THE MOVIE soundtrack. RAYE’s summer 2025 festival run included a triumphant return to Glastonbury’s legendary Pyramid Stage, along with praised sets at Governor’s Ball, Montreux Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival and All Points East.

An outspoken advocate for songwriter rights, RAYE consistently uses her platform to call attention to industry imbalances—from power dynamics between artists and labels to the financial challenges creatives face in the streaming era. In recognition of her impact, the Ivors Academy will recognize her with a special Ivors Academy Honour this October, calling her “the UK’s finest songwriter and a fearless force for change.” Outside of music, RAYE serves as an ambassador for Audemars-Piguet and Nintendo Switch UK and recently starred in Stella McCartney’s About F**ing Time campaign. On screen, RAYE makes a cameo in an episode of the Netflix limited series Black Rabbit, starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. The appearance also features her rendition of the jazz classic “What a Difference a Day Makes.”
