Mixing the nostalgia of early 90’s powerhouse vocals and compelling story-telling, Raye Williams is reigniting the beloved era of “Diva Pop” for a deeper-listening audience.   Paying homage to the “hairbrush microphone” days growing up in Belleville, Michigan while simultaneously baring her soul, Raye Williams and her music stand strong as the shoulder-padded friend one can lean on.  

“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 a lightning bolt as a kid.  My tender-hearted grief had a place to go and once my parents bought me a karaoke machine in grade school - it was a done deal.  To write songs and share from this place, my inner child - is really essence of what music is all about for me.”  

Raye’s career accomplishments are as versatile as her songs - from musical partnerships with TIDAL and Lyft, sharing the stage with childhood heroes like Wynonna, a favored guest on radio and TV in Detroit, a featured performer at both blues festivals and country festivals, while also keeping busy with speaking engagements as a cancer survivor advocating for women to get their yearly check-ups, and the list goes on.  Yes, it’d be hard to put your finger on what to expect next from Raye Williams.  But one thing’s for sure, there’s absolutely no stopping her.
