Rafi

Born and raised in the Philippines, 20-year-old singer-songwriter Rafi has always aimed to simply speak of authenticity through her music. She discovered her love for heartfelt melodies and storytelling at the early age of 5, as she began her journey with musical theater workshops (and performing for her relatives during family get togethers). After 8 years of partaking in numerous recitals and shows, Rafi found herself venturing into the world of songwriting. It was then that she familiarized herself with the craft of creating soulful songs that explore themes of love, self-discovery, human connection, and more.

With the interplay of her distinctive sound along with her heartfelt lyrics, Rafi simply aims to use her voice as a tool for healing and connection— to exercise her ability to make others feel seen and heard. As someone who feels deeply, she highly values creating music with reason. Rafi has always described music as her lifeline, and she only wishes to offer that said gift of music to her own listeners. On her YouTube channel, she shares more about her personal life, and creates videos to provide a safe space for others.
