Multifaceted Visionary Transforming Lives Through Music and Activism
I AM SCHAWAYNA RAIE
Schawayna Raie, a multifaceted talent encompassing roles such as a philanthropist, activist, singer-songwriter, and visionary, has captivated audiences with her unique Neo Soul vocal style and profound storytelling through music. Her journey began with the release of her album "Through It All" in 2011, reflecting her resilience through life's challenges. Raie's work extends beyond music; her non-profit organization aims to empower women, and her theme song "Scene Before" led to further recognition and the creation of a full album that garnered nationwide attention from online radio stations.
"Schawayna Raie's vocals are like smooth melodies playing in your ears"
- DJ DynoMike
Her career took a significant turn when she appeared on the nationally syndicated talk show "I'm Just Sayin'" and performed at Mark Hubbard's annual birthday bash in Illinois, sharing the stage with notable gospel and R&B artists. This exposure solidified her status as a developing artist. Despite initially focusing on education and business consulting, Raie embraced her calling as a performing artist with her album "No More Hiding," inspired by her journey towards self-acceptance and her diverse educational background in radiologic science, psychology, and industrial organizational psychology, which unknowingly prepared her for the multifaceted roles she would assume in her music career.
