Q&A WITH GOD

This is the story of protecting your light and soul in a place that sells it

RAYA DIZE CHALLENGES THE SYSTEM STATUS QUO WITH GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM & VISUAL NOVEL "Q&A WITH GOD"

"What if I could create something that changes everything?" This question drove classically-trained pianist, vocalist, and multi-faceted artist Raya Dize to forge a revolutionary musical experience with her debut album "Q&A with God." In an unprecedented fusion of music and interactive storytelling, Dize introduces both a genre-defying album and an industry-first visual novel that takes listeners on a spiritual journey through countries and cities and ending up in NYC.

WAKE UP: PROTECTING YOUR LIGHT IN A WORLD THAT WANTS TO BUY IT

"This is the story of protecting your light and soul in a place that sells it," explains Dize about the project's central theme. While the music industry often promotes sacrificing everything for illusory success, Raya's album stands as a defiant counternarrative - documenting what happens when an artist refuses to compromise their spiritual essence for commercial gain.

"They told us success means sacrificing everything for illusionary success. This album is the opposite - it's what happens when you refuse to. This is a story about choosing your soul and finding something much greater. It's a direct challenge to the system. Now it's your turn," says Dize.

INTRODUCING CINEHOP POP: A GENRE-DEFINING SOUND

Raya pioneers "CINEHOP POP" – cinematic urban pop that blends soulful melodies, hard-hitting hip-hop beats, and cinematic depth. Created in collaboration with producer Antony Waldhorn (whose music was introduced to the world by Armin van Buuren), CINEHOP POP isn't just a genre – it's an invitation to dive deep and reshape your world. It delivers powerful lyrics that speak to the soul, wrapped in melodies that feel like a film score for your life.

Through this revolutionary sound, Dize becomes both a mirror and a guide, urging listeners to confront the shadows within and step into the light – to rise beyond survival, strip away imposed layers, and return to their true selves by questioning everything.

THE ALBUM: A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

"Q&A with God" features eleven powerful tracks including standouts like "My Prayer," "I'm Okay," "Powerful of No," and "Spread the Love," and the title track "Q&A with God." Each song represents a different facet of Dize's spiritual awakening and artistic rebirth, challenging listeners to break free, rise up, and embrace their truth.

The album guides fans through mysterious synchronicities coded within the album, mirroring Dize's own divine unexplainable experiences during its creation. These encoded messages and symbols transform the listening experience into an interactive spiritual quest that asks life's deepest questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

Drawing on her classical training that began at age three and her evolution into contemporary pop, Dize creates a sound that's simultaneously cinematic and grounded. Her deep, sandy vocals deliver emotionally charged lyrics about forgiveness, healing, faith, and spiritual resilience.

A STORY OF TRANSFORMATION

More than just a pop artist, Raya Dize is a spiritual provocateur – a rebel with a cause whose music is a movement. Born in Germany, raised across continents, and home-schooled in the face of personal challenges, she turned adversity into power. From battling health challenges to navigating betrayal, every setback became fuel for her music. Her story is one of raw survival—choosing to rise, even when the world seemed determined to keep her down.

A multi-talented artist, Raya does it all: classical piano, opera, hip-hop dance, and Stanislavsky-trained acting. Starting at age three, mastering the piano and singing opera, she discovered her voice as a songwriter at thirteen. Today, she fuses classical, cinematic, and hip-hop influences, creating a sound that's as revolutionary as it is timeless.

Her motto, "Everything they rejected in me has now become my crown", perfectly encapsulates her artistic philosophy of transforming obstacles into triumphs.

PIONEERING THE VISUAL NOVEL FORMAT IN MUSIC

In a groundbreaking innovation no artist has attempted before, Dize complements her album with an immersive visual novel featuring her walking alongside an angel through countries, symbolizing the higher purpose beyond our daily routines. This multimedia experience invites listeners to not just hear the music but to see and feel the spiritual journey that inspired it.

BUILDING A LISTENERBASE, NOT A FANBASE

Fanbase is not something that a true artist seeks, but listenerbase, which is really a different definition — because fanbasecarries the toxic feeling of putting yourself on a pedestal and expecting other people to worship you.

Listenerbase is about creating a nation of people who look in the same direction as you.

This isn't the story of a perfect hero. It's the story of someone who broke down, felt fear, made mistakes — but still chose to rise without losing their soul. If you're hearing this album, if you're feeling it — then that spark lives in you too. You, too, are capable of walking your path — through fear, guilt, and loneliness — back to your truest self. Not because it's easy. But because deep within, a voice keeps whispering: "Don't sell your heart. Even if it burns."

These songs aren't just a collection of stories. They are one long journey of a soul — through solitude, guilt, temptation, separation, and darkness. And it endured. It didn't become perfect. It became real.

AVAILABILITY AND UPCOMING TOUR

"Q&A with God" and its accompanying visual novel will be available on all major streaming platforms starting July 21, 2025. Raya Dize is currently planning a nationwide tour to bring this transformative musical experience to audiences across the country.

"Through every lyric, beat, and melody, she asks: Are you truly awake? If not... WAKE UP. GOOD MORNING." – Raya Dize

Music comes through me, not from me." – Raya Dize

A MESSAGE FROM RAYA DIZE

"My goal is not to build a fanbase. I'm seeking to create a listenerbase. This distinction matters deeply to me. A fanbase carries the toxic feeling of putting myself on a pedestal and expecting worship. That's not what I want. I want to create a nation of people who look in the same direction as I do – who are on their own journey of awakening, questioning, and transformation. We aren't looking at each other; we're looking toward the same horizon together. That's what a listenerbase means to me – a community of souls walking parallel paths, not a hierarchy with me at the top. I invite you to join this journey, not as fans, but as fellow travelers seeking your own truth."
