Rayna

calgary, ab

Rayna is an exceptionally talented alternative-rock artist, hailing from Calgary, AB, pioneering unconventionally thrilling songs by blending the dark edginess of angsty rock music with gentle soft melodies expressive of a deep underlying catharsis. She draws on her darkest and most indelible experiences of poverty, trauma & heartbreak to create caricatures of anguish, affliction & dark fantasy through her mesmerizing melodic anthems, uniquely resonant vocal texture, and metaphorically allusive lyricism. Her magnetic songwriting captivates and characterizes people from her real-life experiences, developing them as fictitious characters into her ambitious narrations of intricate storylines filled with artistic expression.  Her sound gives rise to new variations of alt-rock, with a tinge of rebelliousness intertwining with sensational melodies to create songs that are sonically compelling, unbeatably rhythmic, and greatly emotionally expansive, bringing a new vision the world of alt-rock.
