Profile Raef (Islamic Artist)

Profile Raef (Islamic Artist) - Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, Raef is a singer-songwriter, educator, and musician. He has performed across the United States and is known for his unique lyricism and acoustic sound. Blending American folk-rock musicality with Eastern melodic patterns, Raef’s music moves seamlessly between commercially accessible rock tunes, and introspective folk songs.

Over the years Raef has shared his music with faith-based communities across the world. With the heart of a teacher, the sensitivity of a poet, the perspective of a traveler, and the spirit of a rock 'n roller, Raef’s music expands the narrow category of “religious songs” (nasheed) with songs that transcend one-dimensional spiritual themes— reflecting instead on the greater human search for inspiration and purpose.

Raef believes that true, pure, and sincere music can go beyond the realm of “entertainment” and should open new doors of wonder and inspiration. Positive faith-based music should deepen spiritual insight and most importantly, provide the soundtrack for the human journey towards the Divine.
