Be sure to check out the interview on YouTube
Raihanna Estrada is an indie country artist-songwriter from California who now calls Nashville home. She grew up in a motorhome on a Ranch in Lake Berryessa in Napa County and fell in love with country music. She learned to sing from Disney and musicals like Annie and Oliver as a kid. Later her ears were captivated by artists on 90’s country radio such as Jo Dee Messina, Phil Vassar, Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Travis Tritt and LeAnn Rimes. She started songwriting at age 13 creating stories and melodies. And started performing whenever she could at Karaoke. In high school she moved back to Fremont, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area and continued by singing the National Anthem at rallies, sports games and performing at talent shows.
Raihanna was adopted at six months old by her maternal Grandparents who she called Mom and Dad. They raised her to love everyone, help when you can, to work hard and to be creative. They were a different generation and that gave her a love of things of the past. Their suburban home had many treasures. They were everything to her. In 2005 and 2006 Raihanna’s world was turned upside down. Her Dad passed away abruptly from a heart aneurism and her Mom followed a year later passing away from Cancer. It broke her heart but instead of letting it ruin her she took that and channeled it into chasing her dreams of pursing a music career and living her life exactly how she wanted to. Thinking outside the box of the norm and living it to the fullest.
