Her music uplifts, her presence feels like the comforting embrace of our benevolent ancestors’ past, and her voice sounds like the taste of sweet honeysuckles on a warm spring day in, her hometown, McIntosh, Alabama. Raven’s musical influences vary from the warm jazz tones of John Coltrane and Billie Holiday to the funky electronic vibe of, the Swedish band, Little Dragon. Her favorite vocalists are Lauryn Hill, Sade, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Jazmine Sullivan, Tierra Whack, Janelle Monae, Cynthia Erivo, and Beyonce.
