1997

Rachel Agatha Keen (born 24 October 1997), known professionally as Raye (stylised in all caps), is an English singer, songwriter and record producer.

Her debut studio album, My 21st Century Blues (2023) was released independently to critical and commercial success, and won Album of the Year at the 2024 BRIT Awards.

Among five other awards for which she was a recipient, Raye broke the record for most wins and nominations received at the ceremony in a single year.

Before her breakthrough as solo artist, she produced and wrote songs for other acts, namely Beyoncé, Little Mix, Rihanna, David Guetta, John Legend and Ellie Goulding.

Rachel Agatha Keen was born on 24 October 1997 in Tooting, London, to a Ghanaian-Swiss mother who is a mental health worker and an English father, originally from Yorkshire.

Raye’s middle name 'Agatha' is also the name of her grandmother.

As a child, she sang gospel songs in a church where her father was the musical director and her mother sang in the choir.

Later, she moved to Croydon, where she studied at Coulsdon Church of England Primary School and Woodcote High School and at age 14 attended BRIT School, before dropping out after two years due to feeling "confined... despite learning an extensive amount."
