Raizy (born 9 February 2001) is a Cameroonian singer, songwriter, and record producer.[1] He is known for blending traditional Makossa rhythms with modern Afropop. In 2024, Raizy gained international prominence after being featured by The Recording Academy in their "Global Spin" digital series.[2]

Career

Raizy's professional career began in the early 2020s within the urban music scene of Yaoundé. He first gained viral traction with the single Bread in 2022, which explored themes of resilience and social struggle.

In 2024, Raizy signed a major recording contract with EMI Sweden and Universal Music Africa. Under this partnership, he released the single Runner, followed by CABO (Pt1), which was noted for its tropical house and Makossa influences.[3]

In April 2024, Raizy performed a live acoustic rendition of God Is Love alongside Tzy Panchak for the Recording Academy's Positive Vibes Only series. The performance was highlighted for its spiritual messaging and its representation of Cameroonian cultural heritage on a global stage.[2]

Musical style

Raizy's sound is characterized by "sunkissed" melodies and a production style that bridges the gap between old-school Cameroonian music and global Afrobeats.[4] His lyrics often transition between English, French, and Cameroonian Pidgin.
