Spotlight: Raye

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome RAYE to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for a special evening including a conversation about the making of her debut album, My 21st Century Blues. A performance will follow.

RAYE, the 25-year-old south Londoner born Rachel Keen, has experienced a rapid ascent since achieving the inaugural #1 hit of 2023 in the UK. Her long-awaited independent debut album, My 21st Century Blues, made an immediate impact as it debuted at #2 on the UK Official Albums Chart. As a welcome result of her self-fulfilling new work released via Human Re Sources/The Orchard, RAYE unknowingly wrote the song that is now synonymous with 2023 – the chart topping, viral smash “Escapism” featuring 070 Shake. From the radio to the club, the inescapable single placed RAYE on the global map in a whole new way, marking her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 22) and becoming her first Top 10 at both Pop and Rhythm radio in North America. 

The esteemed songwriter – who has penned hits for numerous GRAMMY Award winners and nominees including Beyoncé, John Legend, Ellie Goulding, Charli XCX, David Guetta, Halle Bailey, and Anitta to name only a few – has supported SZA, Kali Uchis, and Lewis Capaldi on their respective sold out tours winning praise from critics around the world. RAYE’s mammoth year of touring continues throughout the year as she gears up for the second installment of her 45-date headline ‘M21CB Tour’ spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia. 

In a year marked by remarkable success, My 21st Century Blues continues to capture the spotlight within the industry. Noteworthy accomplishments include a highly coveted spot on the esteemed Mercury Prize shortlist for “Album of the Year”, scoring the “Best Contemporary Song” at the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards, and being honored with the BRIT Billions Award for surpassing 1 Billion total career streams in the UK to date. 2023 has also seen her score a nomination for “Best International Act” at the BET Awards and emerging as the top nominee at the AIM Independent Music Awards, a testament to her contributions to the independent music scene. After playing and owning the pop game, RAYE bet on herself and won.
