Raye Williams

Mixing the nostalgia of late 80’s/early 90’s dance beats with powerhouse vocals, Raye Williams is reigniting the beloved era of “Diva Pop” for a new generation, shoulder pads and all.  Born and raised in Detroit, Raye Williams is taking us back to the “hairbrush microphone” days where we grew up singing and dancing to the posters hanging on bedroom walls. “All my life I have been captivated by larger than life voices and personas - the ‘Divas’ of music. Voices like Whitney, Mariah, Aretha, Tina, Celine…they struck me like lightning bolts as a kid." In 2020, it was announced that Raye had partnered up with TIDAL, the only artist-owned global streaming service, spear-headed by Jay-Z.  TIDAL revealed that Raye was 1 of 5 artists chosen to take part in a new $1 million endowment program to support emerging artists, called TIDAL Unplugged and kicking off in Detroit. Her first single, “Just Take My Money” is out now. http://tidal.com/unplugged to learn more!
