Rebel Rae

Signed through Sony Music’s Orchard, singer/songwriter Rebel Rae, born in the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia), represents a culturally diverse backdrop which sets the tone for her music. At nine years old, her grandfather, a renowned Jazz Pianist in St. Louis, would become her driving force in pursuing music, insisting that her voice was her instrument. With fellow D.C. artist Ari Lennox, Rebel Rae joined the European leg of Lennox’s “Shea Butter Baby” tour, where Rae performed to sold-out crowds in the U.K., France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. She performed live in collaboration with Coke Studios and #BeApp alongside performers like Katy Perry, DJ Khaled, Bebe Rexha, and Miguel, helping to support the International Red Cross and the Red Crescent Movement. She also joined Roc Nation’s Harry Hudson and nine-time Grammy Winner Sheryl Crow, in Pelotonia’s Legends Live! event, raising millions of dollars to benefit cancer research. Rebel Rae opened for Bilal at the Sony Music Hall, in New York, June 13, 2022, and completed a 4-day mini tour in her hometown of DC.  Rebel Rae released her debut album, The View From Down Here, in 2020, her EP, Permission, in 2022, and singles, Muse, Used To Know, and Take All My Tears this year in 2023.

This year, Rebel Rae performed Aretha Franklin’s rendition of “Respect” at the King of Soul Music Festival, honoring the legendary Otis Redding in Macon, GA. Rebel Rae was accompanied by the acclaimed Orchestra Noir for this very special live performance in front of a live audience, which included Otis Redding’s family, friends, distinguished guests, and top tier donors. Off the success of the performance, Rae performed as a special guest on the Live Nation tour for R&B powerhouse, singer/songwriter Leela James.
