Dream Pop from Raymond Revel

Originally hailing from Burbank, California and now based in Forth Worth in Texas, Raymond Revel is a singer-songwriter and producer who makes his own brand of piano-driven pop music. Having always been fascinated by the great songwriters of the 1970s such as James Taylor, Carole King and Harry Chapin as well as Billy Joel an Elton John, Raymond Revel’s music holds a timeless appeal that’s rare in the music of today.

After experimenting with producing his own music, his sound evolved in a range of different styles and niches, giving each of his compositions its own distinct sonic character. Refusing to be boxed into any one particular genre, across his catalogue you’ll find everything from laid back songs channelling the sounds of John Mayer and Jason Mraz to 80s influenced pop music.

From 2014 and the release of his debut EP titled The Beginning, he’s constantly pushed the boundary of his creative vision, maintaining his independent DIY ethos of writing, producing, mixing and mastering all of his own work. Continuing this trend, he brings us his recent single with the new track “Nowhere Close To Famous”.

Composed about the joys of not being famous, “Nowhere Close To Famous” is a true celebration of ordinary life. Spinning a positive tone and optimistic outlook, with his recent single, Raymond Revel shares an upbeat synth pop outing that’s as catchy as it is hopeful. Full of bright instrumentation, a grooving rhythm and Raymond’s uplifting vocal work, “Nowhere Close To Famous” is a memorable song that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
