rafael. is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter and pianist, reigniting the sound of old-school R&B with a modern, classy flair. Inspired by the greats both past and present, his sound is a blend of smooth vocals and tight rhythms, led by a bold, yet sensitive musicality.

In April of 2025 (on the same day as his birthday), he released his debut single, 'Feel'. The track introduced the world to an artist who’s unafraid of vulnerability, sharing his heart to a world that he hopes will be vulnerable with him.

As a graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, rafael. is well-versed in every layer of music. He has trained with big names such as international music royalty Jose McLaughlin, and is currently training with the highly-acclaimed team in Performance Studios.

rafael. aims to take you for a ride full of feelings, vulnerability, and fun. His music is built off the true basis of R&B - soulful, true to the self, and as the ultimate form of expression. In a world where people often hide their true selves, he wishes to offer the seat for you to remove that mask.
