Indian-American R&B dynamo Raveena Aurora, known professionally as Raveena, was born in Massachusetts on September 30, 1994 and grew up in Queens, New York and Stamford, Connecticut. She was brought up in a traditional Sikh household and imbues her contemporary R&B jams with the jazz and soul she became immersed in while at school, also nodding to her Indian heritage and love of Bollywood in her self-directed music videos. Working with producer Everett Orr, she released her debut breakout EP, Shanti, in 2017 and the "Honey" single came the following year, melting 70s soul flavors into a sensual R&B sound. That same year, Raveena came out as bisexual with her single “Temptation,” which was accompanied by a talked-about video and saw her queer fanbase expand. Raveena's critically acclaimed debut album, Lucid, arrived in 2019, and in February 2020 she released her four-track Moonstone EP, which featured dreamy first single "Headaches" with its video starring herself and YouTuber Hitomi Mochizuki as lovers. New '00s-tinted single "Tweety" surfaced in 2021.
