Raine Stern is a 23-year-old queer singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist originally from Madison, WI. When Raine first picked up a guitar at 11 years old, she found a home for the stories she had always felt the need to tell. Her lyricism is potent and poetic, and her arrangements fill in the cracks that language can’t. Raine's timeless pop sound paired with guitar skills well beyond her years have earned her comparisons to music icons such as Prince, Joan Jett, and Jeff Buckley. Whether writing, producing, or performing live, her talent is met head-on with an undeniable sense of purpose: her lifelong mission is to inspire devotion to the very causes that drive her, including environmentalism and equality.

Raine was a contestant on season 20 of The Voice, has been featured on PBS's 30 Minute Music Hour, and most recently was featured on NPR for their Tiny Desk Contest feature, "Top Shelf."
