My Compelling Story

Rae Valentine is a professional singer based out of the finance capital of India, Mumbai. As a child, Rae grew up like a lot of other girls of her age watching a lot of Bollywood films; the one thing that was characteristic to these movies were their songs, the emotion, the lyrics, the melody which would always ignite a passion in her like she never witnessed. She was immediately taken by it. Her earliest singing influences can be traced to Shreya Ghoshal and Alka Yagnik. Growing up in India's two biggest cities – Pune and Mumbai – introduced Rae to western music at a very young age of nine. She was especially impressed by Taylor Swift and was Rae's primary influence. Apart from singing, Rae is also a dancer, guitarist and an avid sportsperson. Despite having absolutely no professional training in any performing arts so far, these early introductions to the stage provided her with a very raw experience that helped here a lot in the process of self-realization. As of today, Rae has performed with some of India's best artists like VJ Anusha Dandekar at the Garden of Dreams in Grand Hyatt, twice in Hard Rock Café Worli, an amazing acoustic evening at the CIDCO exhibition, Irish House, Treesome Café and the Beer Cafe. She has toured the city of Pune twice performing in front of packed houses of Hard Rock Cafe, Irish Village, Beer Café, JW Marriott, Effingut Brewerkz and a lot more. She now looks to expand her reach and bring her music to other amazing cities such as Bangalore and Delhi.
