With over 4 million career streams to date and songs featured on some of Spotify’s top alternative editorial playlists, FKA Rayne is working hard to cement herself as an upcoming staple in the Canadian alternative scene. The Vancouver based artist first started releasing original music in 2019 with her debut single ‘Do with that’, later followed by a FACTOR funded EP ‘False Love’. Originally dabbling in pop before switching over to her current nu-metal and industrial influenced sound, FKA Rayne received radio play at some of the top stations in Canada, was made the face of Amazon music’s ‘artists to watch 2020 list’, and was invited by Live Nation to play pre-show for Billie Eilish. Despite the promising opportunities found in the pop world, it just wasn’t where her heart was set. After releasing her EP, FKA Rayne spent almost a year evolving her sound; delving back into her emo kid roots, and falling in love with early 2000’s nu-metal. During this exploration phase, FKA Rayne signed on with a new manager (Abir Hossain), and was connected with her producer Reed Hoelscher, with whom she wrote her alternative debut single ‘Side Effect’. Since its release in June of 2022, ‘Side effect’ has received over 1.8 million streams and been added to almost 50k fan playlists. Later releases ‘Kill Me Now’, ‘Loathe’, and ‘Can’t take me’ have also been well received by streaming platforms, receiving placements on editorial playlists including ‘Misfits 2.0’, ‘Ready to rock’, and ‘Equal Canada’. FKA Rayne and her band are high energy, engaging performers who have recently played at venues including main stage at Khatsalano music festival, and the Cobalt.
