Raury

Raury’s career rapidly ascended in 2014 with the release of his critically acclaimed debut mixtape, ‘Indigo Child,’ garnering significant industry recognition. That same year, he organized his music festival, Raurfest, and signed with Columbia Records, becoming the inaugural artist for the Georgia-based record label Love Renaissance (LVRN), which he helped establish. His talent was further recognized through a contribution to the ‘Lost Souls’ track on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack. A prolific 2014 also saw him shortlisted for the BBC’s Sound of 2015, securing fourth place in January 2015, and featured on the cover of XXL magazine’s 2015 Freshman Class.

In October 2015, Raury released his highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘All We Need,’ which debuted at position 78 on the Billboard 200 chart. Tracks from the album gained significant media placements, with ‘Crystal Express’ featured in the video game FIFA 16 (2015) and ‘Devils Whisper’ utilized for a trailer for the television series Coronation Street (2015). His music continued to achieve wide reach through film and television, with ‘God’s Whisper’ appearing in the acclaimed films American Honey, Lucy, Collide, and the series Dark, while ‘Devil’s Whisper’ was featured in the 2017 film Logan. Raury further expanded his touring experience in 2016 as a support act for Macklemore and released the single ‘Butterfly’ the same year, before appearing on Jaden Smith’s album Syre in 2017.

Raury has maintained a strong momentum into 2024, releasing a trio of independent albums: ‘Transcendence,’ ‘Southern Mystic,’ and ‘The Blue Shell Theory.’ These latest projects, released under ‘Into the Woods,’ underscore his commitment to artistic independence and his continuous evolution as a singer-songwriter and rapper. His sustained output and high-profile collaborations solidify his position as a dynamic and influential force in contemporary music, consistently pushing creative boundaries across genres.
