Lori Rayne is anything but ordinary when it comes to her take on country music. Born and raised in historic Birmingham, Alabama, she has had many influences due to her love for Southern culture and music. With heavy influences in 90s hip hop, blues, and country, Lori Rayne brings her own twist to the music she creates. Her soulful voice, storytelling lyrics, and country vibes bring a true uniqueness to the country scene.
Although Lori had always been interested in music, it wasn’t until 2017 that she took to the internet to display her talents. In July 2018, Lori Rayne released her first-ever single, “Radiostation (The Beach Song).” This song displays not only her love for country music, but also some of her influences as well. Soon after, Lori struck again with another single entitled “Beaches in California,” alongside hip-hop artist Asherr Cole, which debuted on Spotify’s New Music Nashville. Most recently, Lori released her debut EP entitled 1926 dedicated to her granddad, and is continuing to write and record new music in Nashville, TN.
Lori has been seen on various Nashville stages and is a proud member of the roster of the Black Opry, where she has performed alongside major stars like Alicia Keys. She has become a force alongside the Black Opry, where she recently performed at FarmAid 2023 alongside fellow members Kyshona and Tylar Bryant.
