Meet Raven
Growing up around rock, alternative and country music, Raven’s love for a variety of music started young. His focus on electronic music blossomed in 2017 when he attended his first edm music festival. He played his first show as Raven in early 2021. Before launching Raven & Ali, he played a headlining set at Full Moon Festival on the main stage, Full Moon Festival silent discos, Down Low festivals, Eleventh House events, Brunch House events at Sunbar Tempe, Wasted Grain events in Scottsdale, House Mondays at Cobra Bar PHX, underground festivals and more. He began producing original music and remixes alongside Ali in 2021.
When he’s not working on his music career, he enjoys making all kinds of art, cooking, home projects with Ali, and taking care of his wife and Kuzco (emperor chihuahua).
Meet Ali
Ali’s music journey started when she was three years old, when her mom helped her figure out a tune on the piano. She’s been mastering classical and pop tunes on the piano since she was in grade school, and has been singing, acting and dancing since she was about eight years old. She starred in plays, musicals and thrived in her voice lessons and high school’s vocal ensemble. In college, she focused on her dance career, while keeping up with her love for the piano and singing. In 2021, she helped launch and manage the Raven brand, while starting to produce music.
When she’s not DJing as Raven & Ali or making music, she enjoys dancing and creating fun edits for social media, alongside Raven (and emperor Kuzco). She holds a Master’s degree in Mass Communications, a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism and a Minor in Marketing & Sales from Arizona State University. She’s also a graduate of Cosmic Academy, an artist development program based in Miami.
