The versatile urban singer from Manchester, UK, first came to our attention in 2018 with her debut single ‘Be Down’ and EP ‘Hear Me’. Her raw lyrical flows and sweet twists create a refreshing vocal concoction. Bold strength, honesty and a fiery spirit shine through each song.
Rae Stewart started singing from the age of 3 and is influenced by the likes of Lauren Hill, Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Brandy, Destiny’s Child and more. Her latest single ‘Making Love’ is deliciously dark and seductive. We took the chance to speak with Rae Stewart as her career blossoms…
Tell us about yourself and how you got into music?
My name’s Rae Stewart, I am a singer / songwriter from Manchester. I've been doing music from my early teens but I didn’t have the confidence! I just didn’t take it seriously. I went through bad situations and, out of nowhere, an opportunity came and I just went for it! It was now or regret it forever.
You’re rising well with your debut ‘Hear Me’ EP gaining strong industry recognition, can we expect an album in the next few years?
Anything will do: a mixtape, album, volumes, etc - as long as I am getting music out!
Your sound is really versatile showing both soft and raw emotions, what inspires your songs?
I speak about my life and other people’s experiences but I also just make stuff up, even if I ain't been through it.
What are your tips & advice for aspiring artists?
Be you, never change. You can easily lose yourself. Never give up no matter what.
What are your future plans? Any upcoming singles or performances we should keep an eye our for?
Keep making as much music as i can! Get some features popping, a couple things are coming just gotta stay tuned.
Thanks for a great interview.
