​

Kadeem Traill, known to his fans by the moniker, Ra[K]ooN was born in Queens, NY, to parents who have always supported his vision and commitment to being an individual. His family dynamic has allowed Ra[K]ooN the artistic freedom to not be pigeon held into any one genre. Ra[K]ooN encompasses all styles in order to create the music that narrates his life and, hopefully, yours. His capacity to interpret the hearts of the, “Ra[K]stars” is a  result of his passion for the underdog, the timid and the countless others silenced by fear or by the lack of a microphone. Ra[K]ooN has said

​

"It was never really one artist that made me want to be a singer. It was more of my fascination with a collection of artists. Seeing that there were so many ways to work a crowd or to write a song. It was the 'Rules' but 'No Rules' aspect of being a singer that made me fall in love."  

​

Some artists that Ra[K]ooN has included in his "Collection" to date have been Jessie J, Hayley Williams, Jermaine Riley Ed Sheeran and Rihanna to name a few.

​

"I feel like the artists I truly enjoy are all so different, yet their fans love them. I Want that. I want to be able to not necessarily follow the guidelines of another artist but instead to pick and choose what works for me."

​

Always wanting to stand out and entertain, it became clear early on that Ra[K]ooN found his calling to share his artistry with the world.  Since then he has continued to hone his craft with those qualities that make for a superstar: hard work, perseverance and the belief that there is no 'Plan B'.
