  • Please Introduce yourself

My name is RAAD. I’m half Cypriot, half Lebanese and I spent most of my young adulthood exploring the streets of East London , myself and my creative nature.I write, sing and produce my own music; blending flavours from the Middle East and the British urban underground scene. I take all this and fuse it together with hip hop and soul to produce a cultural melting pot of genres, reflecting the diversity of influences I then express through my music.

  • Future plans

To be honest I want it all. I want to learn from the best and become the greatest. So Imma keep writing and releasing music that represents the realest version of myself, my deepest fears until I make my passion a career based on authenticity. I want to be remembered and recognised for my music but also for looking half of my age and cute af (jk)

  • Best live gig you have even been

Kanye West way back in 2006, he performed at the O2 I believe, the stage was moving, it had everything, acting drama real emotion and he was my favourite artist at the same! Super inspiring. I would also add I saw Ghetts live at the Endz festival in Croydon last year and that also as amazing, I have never seen a performer like him before, his energy is unmatched.

A2 – Super dope and underrated artist, should have more success than what i think he is currently sitting on.

  • Future plans

I plan to release a few more singles before dropping my 2nd project, I was working a lot during lockdown (even taught myself how to produce) and I feel very confident with my next phase of content I have to release! I’m aiming to have 3 music videos to drop before the end of the year also! I have to stay consistent and keep giving the people what they want!
