Raebel is a Nigerian artiste who is currently creating her own space in the music industry with a fresh sound that is a reflection of alternative R&B, Neo-soul, reggae/dancehall, and a sprinkle of the traditional Nigerian flavor.

Raebel’s debut single titled ‘Miniskirt’ and released by Konvest Music Record Label proved that the 18-year-old singer has mastered the game and she is not only ready to play but also out to win the heart of music lovers.

In a recent interview with Michael Adeshina, Raebel spoke about her brand and everything about MiniSkirt.

Everybody now knows you as Raebel but many will still want to know about the lady causing a new wave in the industry, so give us an introduction about yourself.

Raebel is a young girl who loves music and it’s one of the things that gives her happiness.

She is 18, a creative who expresses herself, her emotions, the emotions of people around her through her music.

I can be very friendly but like my personal space as well.

My favourite colour is black, I love food (laughs) and I’m always writing.

What’s the meaning of Raebel and why did you choose it as your brand name.

Raebel (Rebel ) stands for a person who breaks rules and laws set down, a non-conformist who is seen as different from the norm. I chose the name because it best explains who I am and what my music is all about. I choose that name because it gives me the type of confidence I thought I lacked.

The first time I heard Mini Skirt, the message was so clear but I felt you may be writing from a personal experience.

I wrote miniskirt out of how I felt and yeah u right. For the most part of my life I’ve been told how to be, how to behave and their picture of who I am and who I really am just didn’t align. So I said no miniskirt, I’m gonna be who I want to be.

Is Miniskirt your experience or do you just write it out of your imagination?

I’d say both.

I saw a video where you were hailed for composing a song in a very short time. How did you come about your lyrics?

It’s a gift from God, it comes very easy and natural for me to come up music. Like I could write songs all day. So it’s all God.

With your lyrics in MiniSkirt, you appear to me like someone who has a church background and yet could kill any genre of Music but are your parents in support of your current choice of music?

Yeah I have a strong Christian background and I’m still following the background and what it teaches.

And my parents are in support of my music because they know it’s meant to be.

Who are you looking up to in the music industry?

Rihanna and top musicians in the Nigerian industry

Mini Skirt is definitely a banger, what more should we expect from Raebel in 2022. Any plans for collaboration?

A lot of good music and fantastic hits, possibly an EP or an album who knows, maybe even both.

As for plans for collaboration, of course, I’m always open to collaborating in making great music, so we’ll see.
