Meet the Band
Raya Zion
Lead Vocalist
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel and raised in a Sephardic and Mizrachi family, Raya grew up immersed in both Middle Eastern and Western musical traditions. After seeing Tina Turner perform, she knew she was destined to be a rock and blues powerhouse. Raya's deep emotional connection to music turns every show into a dynamic, interactive experience. With over 15 years fronting a 9-piece R&B and funk horn band, her versatility and commanding presence allow her to truly rock the house — and she does.
Michael Lee
Keyboards, Vocals
A Bay Area native, Michael first got the music bug when he played accordion in public at age 6… he's now semi-reformed, moving on to other keyboard instruments. Through the years, he has played in numerous cover and original bands in Northern California. At UC Berkeley, he studied and researched esoteric music applications of computers and electronics. He plays a wide range of genres from classical, jazz, funk, reggae, rock, and all combinations mixed together.

Born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Daniel began playing saxophone in grade 7 and has been immersed in jazz ever since. Having lived in the UK and Korea, he has expanded his musical reach across rock, funk, traditional Asian music, and Latin styles. Daniel performs on all four major saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone), flute, EWI, and also sings using a vocoder. Outside of music, he holds advanced certification in wine studies (WSET).
