Raia combines her ethereal vocals with symphonic orchestration and powerful electronic production to create cinematic songs which are both haunting and epic. Drawing on her roots as a Japanese-born classical pianist and harpsichordist, she fuses influences from metal, folk music, anime, cyber and video game soundtracks to create tracks which tell stories, real and imagined.

Raia is the music project of Mia Watanabe. Based in tropical North Queensland, Australia, she writes music inspired by fleeting things and the human struggle against power.
