Raspberry Sky creates cinematic dreamwave R&B that feels like a late-night memory glowing in neon.

As a Velvet Prophet, he channels intimacy, nostalgia, and raw feeling into immersive worlds. His art fuses nature, crystals, and frequency with modern visuals, turning music into something you don’t just hear—you step inside it.
Where do you find inspiration?I carry the night I lost my brother like a quiet storm in my chest. Gun violence took his voice, but it didn’t take his echo. I turn grief into sound, shaping memories into melodies that breathe when I can’t. Every lyric is a conversation we didn’t finish, every note a light in the dark. I don’t run from the pain. I transform it, so his presence lives on through me, my son and every song I release.
What would you do with $25,000?Raspberry Sky has built real momentum—200K+ followers, millions of streams, viral growth, and industry recognition. With $25,000, I’d launch a focused nationwide tour across key cities, creating intimate live experiences that convert fans into lifelong supporters. The investment fuels travel, targeted marketing, content creation, and merch, turning each stop into growth. This isn’t just a tour—it’s expanding my presence and building a lasting movement
