RAQUEL LILY
This Philippine-born chanteuse initially came to the Southeast after graduating from UC Davis in Neurobiology to pursue medicine. Until, that is, she heard the siren’s call of her lifelong passion as a musician. With a deep love for jazz and soul, she dubs herself an “Indie R&B” singer, drawing upon the South's rich musical heritage as well as more modern influences like Amy Winehouse. She also began utilizing the streaming platform, Twitch, as a way to broadcast her music via live performances that connected her with people all over the world. As a result, she was able to broaden her audience and tap into an online resource that has helped her travel the country and the globe. Some of her recent accolades include performing at VidCon 2018 in Anaheim, CA and being a featured artist at TwitchCon '17 in Long Beach, CA and TwitchCon '18 in San Jose, CA.
