RAYE - THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC with special guests ABSOLUTELY and AMMA

The multi-award-winning British artist RAYE is redefining contemporary pop music through raw storytelling, genre-defying sound, and record-breaking achievements. The three-time GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer made history at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards as the first artist ever to be nominated in the same year for both Best New Artist and Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical). This historic moment followed her record-breaking triumph at the 2024 BRIT Awards, where the South London native took home an unprecedented six trophies — the most in a single year — and became the first woman to win Songwriter of the Year. With viral performances at the GRAMMYs (“Oscar Winning Tears.”) and the Oscars (a tribute to James Bond), RAYE proved herself as one of the most electrifying figures in today’s music landscape.

Since her debut in 2014, RAYE has landed eighteen singles in the UK Top 40 and surpassed 10 billion global streams. Her diverse catalog — spanning pop, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, big band, and dance — includes collaborations with artists such as Stormzy, Central Cee, Lucky Daye, David Guetta, Jax Jones, and Disclosure. As a prolific songwriter, she has also penned hits for icons like Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as rising stars including JADE and Halle.

Her debut album My 21st Century Blues (Human Re Sources/The Orchard), released in 2023, took nearly a decade to craft and marked her first fully independent project. The record achieved extraordinary global success, propelled by the unstoppable worldwide hit “Escapism.” The single became her first UK No. 1, reached the Top 10 in over 20 countries, earned RIAA Platinum certification in the United States, and was the best-selling single by a British artist in 2023. The album sparked more than 150 performances worldwide, including standout sets at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, Austin City Limits, Corona Capital, and the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Her one-of-a-kind concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall — accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and gospel choir — was released on vinyl and broadcast on PBS and the BBC, earning acclaim from critics who hailed her as “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” (The Telegraph). The year 2024 marked another milestone for the “Oscar Winning Tears.” creator, as she made history at the BRIT Awards, opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, and made her Saturday Night Live debut. Additional appearances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, American Music Awards, The Daily Show, MTV EMAs, and a return to the BRIT Awards cemented her status as a true global star.

In 2025, RAYE began the year with the global anthem “Born Again” — a collaboration with LISA and Doja Cat, co-written and co-produced by RAYE — which earned them an MTV Video Music Award. She also teamed up with nine-time GRAMMY winner Mark Ronson on two jazz-inspired singles, “Suzanne” and “Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News,” the latter of which appeared on the star-studded soundtrack for F1® THE MOVIE. That summer, she returned to Glastonbury’s legendary Pyramid Stage and delivered acclaimed performances at Governor’s Ball, Montreux Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, and All Points East.

As a vocal advocate for songwriters’ rights, RAYE consistently uses her platform to highlight industry inequalities — from power dynamics between artists and labels to the financial realities of creators in the streaming era. In recognition of her impact, the Ivors Academy announced she will receive the special Ivors Academy Honour in October, describing her as “the UK’s finest songwriter and a fearless force for change.”

Beyond music, RAYE serves as an ambassador for Audemars Piguet and Nintendo Switch UK and starred in Stella McCartney’s About F**ing Time campaign. On screen, she will appear in an episode of Netflix’s limited series Black Rabbit, alongside Jason Bateman and Jude Law, performing her own rendition of the jazz classic “What a Difference a Day Makes.”
