Rayssa Slater fuses iconic pop, illustrious EDM, and electrifying rock guitars to create a uniquely mind-bending sound. Her rich vocals and poignant lyrics rest on genuine music that stirs the unconscious and moves the soul, finding hope in the hopelessness and light in the darkness.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Rayssa lived in Miami and New York City before moving to Los Angeles where she earned two degrees in music, for Vocal and Guitar Performance, a certificate in Electronic Music Production, and became an Apple Certified Pro in Logic Pro X. As an actress, she quickly earned the coveted SAG card and consistently works on network television and films.
The world has begun to take note of Rayssa’s radiant voice and charisma, including established artists The Beach Boys, Nick Jonas, and Demi Lovato, who invited her to share their stages, such as Coachella’s main stage and the legendary Henson Studios, formerly A&M Studios. In larger-scale productions and as a vocalist for hire, Rayssa always delivers inspirational performances that leave an indelible impact on her ever-expanding audience.
In her free time, Rayssa surfs, works as an American Red Cross Certified Lifeguard, attends concerts, film discussion screenings, and SAG events, designs websites, and works with non-profit organizations that guide people with mental health and substance abuse issues, like TWLOHA.
