From the United States, Rae has always been fascinated by all kinds of music. From singing in elementary choir to picking up the violin for the first time at age 8, making music has been a lifelong constant. Karaoke and showering-singing were her favorite past times, but it was only at 16 (quarantined at home for Covid-19) that Rae took a detour from classical music, explore other genres, and make her own independent art. Pop punk and alternative rock were a natural avenue, since they neatly matched up with Rae's music taste. Before You Go is the first project Rae has joined in what will hopefully become a list of many.
Rae's Main Influences: Green Day, All Time Low, blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Pierce the Veil, Nirvana, and U2.

This was his gateway into pop punk, with bands like Green Day.
