BIO
Raven is a singer/songwriter, born and raised in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn, New York - a neighborhood known for its flavorful & diverse culture and eclectic music. Some of her earlier vocal influences include Barbra Streisand, Donna Summer, Cyndi Lauper and Bette Midler. But don't let that fool you, she's a devoted Metal Head who idolizes the pipes of Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, James Hetfield and Joey Belladonna.
Over the past 12 years, Raven has collaborated on hundreds of songs with various online musicians from around the world. Her vocal style is a blend of sugar & spice – it varies from smooth to husky, depending on her ever changing vocal style.
​
Raven is also a member of the band Spicy Folk, an Adult Contemporary song writing duo forging a unique blend of British and American sound into a special kinda spicy folk music.
The group, consisting of Raven (vocals) and Lee (guitar), first came together from opposite sides of the planet in 2011 via an online music collaboration site. The duo quickly developed an explosive musical relationship and in 2013 made the decision to put out their own spicy brand of acoustic art in the form of a debut album entitled, “If Fishes Were Wishes”.
Since then, the duo has released 14 singles and continues their musical journey together.
