Vicky Rai
Crafting relatable songs

From her earliest releases, Vicky Rai has shown that music is a powerful tool for conveying messages and emotions. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, with a rich Portuguese heritage, her passion for music and performing has burned within her since her earliest memories, and she now crafts relatable songs that delve into the complexities of relationships and her own deeply felt emotions. Her latest release is Bad Decision, and it arrives after the success of releases like Not Leaving You or My World.
“In writing Bad Decision, my goal was to create something super lighthearted, witty and fun. At the same time, the inspiration behind it stemmed from a personal experience with an ex-boyfriend who ended up prioritising his friends and cars over our relationship. Good times!” explains Rai about her latest release, which is one more step in her captivating journey into the depths of human emotions. Showcasing again her extraordinary powerhouse vocals, the singer draws inspiration from icons like Ariana Grande, and her music is full of energy and vitality.
