“Her words touch all from each walk of life. Both men and women feel good about her expressive commentary.�
Captured in one word, Renea L. Moss is… inspiration. Her strength, expression and compassion can be felt through every word she speaks. She delivers hypnotic epics that soothe and thrill her audience into a welcomed breathe of fresh air. Her chosen metaphors accompanied by heart thumping beats, nurture an atmosphere that aids in the telling of frank tales of life, love, and sex.
Born Renea L. Moss, she first discovered her voice at the age of five writing her first poem titled “A Poem� which is featured in her first book “In Your Face,� an exploration of stereotypes and their effects on childhood development and personal experiences. Following this first book, came her second hard core manuscript “Looks Can Be Deceiving.� Both books carry a circulation of 10,000 nationally. Her prolific writings have since steered her down the path of novelist as she is in the process of writing her first fictional novel, “Daddy’s Little Girl.�
As a musician, Rai is a Renaissance woman. Her audio CD titled “The Journey,� illustrates a voyage through the mind and perception of life using rhythm beats, hip-hop, acapella, R&B, house, and classical music to release its meaningful essence. Since her first release her CD has obtained a distribution of 20,000. This enticed her to start work on her second album titled “Love Costs,� which enlightens on the expense of love—life, heart, bad habits, and friends. Her sophomore project proved to fans and critics alike that she is beyond the stereotypical spoken word artist. This CD received numerous awards and nominations to include 3rd place in the American Idol Underground Spoken Word Inaugural Competition, 2nd place and 4th place respectively for Best Spoken Word Album and Best Spoken Word Single at the Just Plain Folks International Music Awards (Singer’s Magazine calls it the Grammy’s for the Independent Artist). In 2007, Rai is working on her current CD, with the first release, “That Bitch�, causing blogs, talks and conversation all over the internet with her premier of its video. This is the prelude to her highly anticipated CD, “Bring on the Drama� due out in 2008.
With the combination and evolution of all of her worlds, came the evolution of her name, still known frequently as Renea L. Moss, she is releasing her new CD under Rai (pronounced ray).
As an artist, Rai has been featured in various media/staged outlets such as the Def Poetry Jam Showcase held at Florida International University, the Black History Celebration: A Tribute to Marcus Garvey, Rant and Rave Opening Summer Series, Voter Registration Drive, and several South Florida radio spots and book signings; in Toronto at the show " When Sisters Speak�, and as a semi -finalist at the Nuyrican Cafe for the grand slam poetry competition in 2000. Her affiliations with charitable organizations and events, such as the ‘Boys & Girls Club� of south Florida, the “Aids Walk� in Miami, Overtown Youth Center, North Miami Library, high school English literature programs and many other various community events has allowed her to stimulate the young minds of the world.
Renea edu-tains, she’s an educator and entertainer. Her background in art, theatre and
dance aids in her showcase and interaction with the many students and community service organizations that she works with in promoting the purpose and aspiration of poetry and creative writing while also aiding in a fabulous stage presence and a not so usual spoken word show. Rai gives a concert. “I am bringing to spoken word what MC Hammer and P Diddy, the entertainment factor, bringing a message for all to hear and bob their heads at the same time. High school students have studied and dramatized her renowned pieces, “I have no dreams today� and “Revolution�. Inspired by female legends and leaders Alice Walker and Maya Angelou, Rai’s years have been influenced by the power of the spoken word, be assured that whatever message Rai chooses, she makes sure it gets delivered!
"In my opinion, Rai is the long lost member of Floetry. As soon as I heard her, I said to myself, Floetry needs a 3rd member and Rai should definitely be that one."
