… Read Full Bio ↴RayRay is a Taiwanese electronic music artist signed to Barong Family.
Hailing from the illustrious city of Taipei, the purple haired bundle of energy cemented her status in the scene as a Red Bull Thre3style competition winner, and through a series of studio sessions with high profile artists such as Skrillex, Yellow Claw, Steve Aoki, where she proved her versatility and production prowess.
RayRay’s passion for music started very early on, where a true love story with sculpting beats unfurled when she was just 17. Initially on the hip-hop tip, she organically gravitated to the electronic music cartel, making her a diverse addition to the ever-evolving music industry.
She's been a hit in the circuit of major music festivals and DJ venues across Asia, working with some of their top music makers. Catching the ears of the crowd in her home country, she was crowned champion of the 2013 Red Bull Thre3style DJ competition. The same year, she presented Taiwan to Toronto in the International DJ Championship.
Today, RayRay is incredibly tenacious, and anything but a generic artist. She has fueled a fierce open format style, that is an intricately textured amalgamation of hip hop, EDM, Miami bass, tech house, trap and drumstep. Her high-profile label signings on Spinnin’ Records, Protocol Recordings, and Tiësto’s label Musical Freedom, have lead her style to naturally evolve and grow. And it was this growth that was the creative catalyst for her critically acclaimed album 'Unearthly World' in 2022.

East coast living, I'm two-one-five, but I stay in Soho
Told you I'm here for my music, I'm never here for photos
You quote Young Rheez from what I wrote, you know that I'm still dolo
N***as been sleeping, but I got Kruger on speed dial
My last round, never had the gloves for my rise now
Hear no sound, 'till I make some noise and I'm off ground
N***as look for beef, b***h I'm look for cash cows
I been stacking up cash, while you was still fishing
Making bread in pandemic, while you was still baking
My homies know I been a GOAT, and I ain't even make it
It takes patience, like mixing lay with the new flavors
And my cadence is something I know the people savor
Years later and I still got reach with my people
And they gentrified my block my n***as still ain't equal
This the great unknown and the dreamer on his own
Moving with the team but I still feel alone
There ain't no love when you tryna find your home
This the great unknown and the dreamer on his own
Moving with the team but I still feel alone
There ain't no love when you tryna find your home
I'm learning the harder way that some people will never change
Thinking of letting you go is something I won't explain
In vein, cause s**t isn't going right on an equal plain
I came here searching for purpose and it left me in pain
This is bigger than me, this s**t for my legacy
All this s**t that was bred in me prepped me for what's ahead of me
F**k n***as scared of me 'cause they know I'm not playing
I'm the one that'll bring it home, this detached from my name (uh)
Feel like I'm Philly's finest
Way I'm focused and flowing I know I'll reach the highest
But what's the point, I left to chase and now my people dying
And I held you on my own, but now I'm glad you flying
This is the realist s**t I wrote, I hope the people see me bubbling
Know I'm on the cusp to help my n***as who been slumming
People been asking me what I'm planning for the summer
I been so dormant but best believe we coming
