Rachel Agatha Keen (born 24 October 1997), known professionally as Raye, is a British singer-songwriter and record producer.
She first rose to prominence after signing with Polydor Records. She then gained media attention with her departure from the record label, which allegedly refused to release her debut album.
Her debut studio album My 21st Century Blues (2023), was released independently, to critical acclaim. Her single "Escapism" topped the UK Singles Chart and charted on the US Billboard Hot 100.
In 2025, she released the single Where is my husband!, which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, charting within the top 10 in several countries.
In October 2026, Raye won the Mercury Music Prize for her album, This Music May Contain Hope. The trophy and £25,000, were awarded to her at the televised event, held in Newcastle on 22 October, the eve of her concert appearance at the Royal Albert Hall.
