About

Desi Raines is a Dallas-based Christian R&B and Hip-Hop artist whose music blends honest storytelling, soulful melodies, and a message of hope rooted in the gospel. After spending years writing songs, leading worship, and collaborating with some of the most respected names in Christian music, he's stepping into a new season—sharing music that reflects his own voice and journey. Originally from Atlanta and now based in Dallas, Desi has spent much of the last decade serving the Church through worship ministry while building experience as a songwriter and vocalist. His background includes writing and performing with North Point Worship and FRVR FREE, as well as touring as a background vocalist for Crowder. Those seasons helped shape his approach to music: authentic lyrics, meaningful conversations, and songs that meet people where they are.

Now, Desi is bringing that foundation into the Christian R&B and Hip-Hop space. His music explores faith through the lens of everyday life—the wins, the setbacks, the questions, and the grace of God that carries us through it all. Rather than creating music that only belongs on Sunday mornings, his goal is to make songs people can live with throughout the week. With new music arriving this year, Desi is introducing a sound that feels both personal and familiar, drawing influences from contemporary R&B, Hip-Hop, and gospel while staying grounded in the message of Jesus. Whether listeners have followed his journey for years or are discovering him for the first time, his hope is simple: to create music that resonates, encourages, and points people toward the God who meets us right where we are.
