Raheem Bakaré

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Born in North London, Raised in South London; I'm a singer, songwriter and producer who blends sensual R&B and alternative soul with cinematic storytelling. My earliest musical memory was taking on the drums and guitar in year 4 at primary school. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Sink or Swim” This is the title track for my latest joint project Sink or Swim which explores love, vulnerability and desire through lush, soul-driven songwriting. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Most memorable moments have been doing the Noisey stage at Lovebox 2016 alongside Solange & Kaytranada. I also loved playing bass at the top of the pyramid for the SAULT set at All Points East in 2025! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? A World Tour is definitely on my bucket list. A part from that I'd love to create a charity and school for the arts one day as an OAP.
