Raya Dize is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, certified sound healer, dancer, actress, and classical pianist/composer whose dreamy vocals wash over you, wave after wave. She blends elements of pop, hip-hop beats, and classical music to craft emotionally charged songs with powerful lyrics and vocals that leave a lasting impact on her audience.

Beginning at the age of 3, Raya devoted her life to classical music, playing piano and singing opera. By the time she was a young teenager, she was performing technically demanding classical pieces, impressing teachers and coaches who urged her to pursue a professional career as a concert pianist. But as she faced a series of health, deep emotional and spiritual challenges, Raya turned inward and began writing songs as a way to process what she couldn't express through classical music alone. That turning point became the birth of her identity as a songwriter and contemporary artist. Having moved frequently throughout her life, Raya developed a broad and sensitive perspective of the world from a young age. This constant movement gave her a deep understanding of human emotion, cultural expression, and spiritual depth.

At age 13, she wrote her first pop song and shifted her focus toward modern music. After, she moved to Los Angeles a city she had dreamed of since childhood which became a powerful catalyst for her artistic evolution.

Raya has also been dancing since early childhood, exploring a wide range of styles from ballet to hip-hop. At just 15 years old, she graduated school early and became the youngest student accepted into a prestigious theatrical university. There, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Acting and Musical Theatre while training intensively in ballet, speech, stage presence, circus arts, acrobatics, and ballroom dance - including both standard and Latin disciplines.

This rare and multidimensional background makes Raya Dize a truly diverse artist. Her fusion of classical training, emotional depth, theatrical storytelling, and modern sound gives her a distinct voice in today’s music landscape - one that resonates deeply and refuses to be boxed in.

During her years living in Los Angeles, Raya Dize actively pursued her acting career, appearing in films alongside renowned actors such as Peter Dinklage, Jamie Dornan, Lorene Jorge, and Yissendy Trinidad. Simultaneously, her music career was rising in parallel, creating a unique dual path that defines her as a multidimensional artist.

She was featured in music videos for well-known artists, took part in national commercials, and performed in major shows in Las Vegas. Recently, Raya performed at a prestigious gala fundraiser attended by RFK Jr. and other prominent figures, supporting the fight against cancer through music and unity.

Over the past few years, Raya has collaborated with top-rated American and European producers and labels from coast to coast. She has shared the stage with high-profile performers, including Eurovision star Alex Sparrow, delivering live shows that mesmerize with her voice, vulnerability, and powerful stage presence.

She was selected for VIP auditions for America’s Got Talent, American Idol, and The Voice, receiving a golden ticket for her standout performances. Her recent shows at iconic venues like The Viper Room and the nationally acclaimed Hotel Café were unforgettable - leaving audiences in awe of her energy, authenticity, and emotional connection.

Raya has also been featured on Times Square billboards twice and took part in the celebrated Midnight Moment Artactivation in Times Square - one of the most visible public art platforms in the world - further cementing her presence as a bold voice in both the art and music scenes.

Currently, she is pouring her heart into new music that reflects her inner world - processing the grief of losing her father, financial hardships, betrayal, and deep personal transformation. Through her songs, Raya offers healing, joy, and truth. She is now preparing for a nationwide tour, guided by a mission to bring light, love, and energy to audiences across the country. She believes that love, compassion, and kindness are not only the core of her music - but the reason we are all here
