Rachel Agatha Keen (born 24 October 1997), known professionally as Raye (stylized as RAYE), is a British singer and songwriter. She rose to prominence after being featured on the singles "By Your Side" by Jonas Blue, "You Don't Know Me" by Jax Jones, "Secrets" by Regard, and "Bed" by Joel Corry and David Guetta, all of which have earned her platinum-status BPI certifications.
In July 2021, Raye parted ways with her record label Polydor Records and henceforth became an independent artist. In February 2023, she released her debut studio album My 21st Century Blues, to critical acclaim. The album was preceded by the hit single "Escapism" (featuring 070 Shake), which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and became her first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
In addition to her music, Raye has also written tracks for other artists including Beyoncé, Little Mix, David Guetta, John Legend, and Ellie Goulding. In 2019, she was awarded a BMI Award, in recognition for her groundbreaking artistry, creative vision and impact on the future of music. She has been nominated for four Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, and was short-listed for the BBC's Sound of... poll in 2017, placing third.
