Brimming with talent, Alana crosses the divides – voicing the dreams, concerns, and beliefs that unite us all. Her blend of acoustic/indie/pop pulls from the soul, and reaches for the stars, giving today’s generation a powerful and fresh voice.
Born to Thai and Filipino parents in Seattle, WA, Alana now lives in Portland, OR. She balances scholastic achievements and acrobatic cheerleading with her passion for music, writing, recording, and performing her own numbers throughout the Pacific Northwest. From intimate café concerts, to audiences of 20,000+ at county fairs and the 2010 Pista Sa Nayon Festival, Alana delivers heart-felt performances at every show. She’s taken the stage at Haiti Relief fundraisers, and made a guest appearance on the Child United Charity benefit hosted by the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year, Efron Penaflorida, in Seattle, WA on October 30, 2010. The day prior to that, she opened for Mega Star Sharon Cuneta with Pops Fernandez also in Seattle.
Alana Raye captures the true spirit of a rising star. What began as a simple glow on the horizon is swiftly expanding into brilliance, as her music is shared with the world.
