Rita RayEE

The crown jewel of Estonian soul Rita Ray has been active since 2019. From humble beginnings to becoming a force on the scene, there's a lot of depth and drive in the small-town girl from Põlva.

With her debut LP Old Love Will Rust, Rita Ray received four nominations at the Estonian Music Awards (EMA). 'Disco Stu' flew highest, in part thanks to the single reaching wide audiences via BBC Radio 2 airplay. Miss Ray was awarded the Young Jazz Talent Award in 2021 by Jazzkaar Festival. From her second album A Life Of Its Own, both 'Love Ain't The Same' and 'No Greater Love' enjoyed BBC and Jazz FM rotation. The record, released via Funk Embassy Records, has received over 2 million streams on Spotify and earned 'Song of the Year', 'Album of the Year' and 'Female Artist of the Year' accolades at the Estonian Music Awards.
