About Me


LaRaisha is a performer, "Jill" of all trades...so ready to come at you with her sweet and thoughtful melodies, her sometimes dark and harsh lyricism...mixed with sick beats and music...She's had pretty much every job and is now going to focus on some music and writing. She is currently writing for herself and other up and coming artists, she just wants to rock and love and roll.
Her father, O'Bryan (a recording artist with 4 hit albums on Capitol Records and a new one out on his independent label/publishing company--Headstorm LLP) and her brother, Brandyn (an amazing singer/songwriter and freshman at NYU signed with Ric Aliberte of Upper 11) all seem to hail from Planet Unique--and will continue to bring you the freshest songs in the new year and years to come. Whether it be material for other performers or her own--her passionate and sincere lyrics seem to burst through each note and chord. Her style is clearly her own with a collection of soulful piano ballads, upbeat dance anthems, and folk-inspired guitar tracks. She has worked with different prducers on building material, most recently her new partner in crime - Charley Hustle. Hustle and La are working on new tracks songs up now--dividing and conquering all up in this piece...ya'll aren't even ready for the musical storm that awaits you.
