Raghd is redefining what independence sounds like – and we're obsessed. She's not just an artist, she's a world builder. Emerging from Gothenburg’s DIY scene, she’s carved out one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Nordic music — a fearless blend of rap, R&B, alt-pop, and experimental textures that’s equal parts sharp and vulnerable. Known for her unapologetic lyrics and self-sufficient creative process, Raghd writes, produces, and even directs her own visuals, building a world entirely her own.
Following a breakout run with her acclaimed EPs Are We There Yet and A Good Friend — the latter crowned Best EP of the Year by The Needle Drop — Raghd continues her ascent with her new single “touch me right,” out now.
Written and produced entirely by herself (so impressive), the track unpacks the rush, imbalance, and emotional charge of a past relationship, showcasing her ability to translate chaos into clarity through sound.
Set to release her next self-produced EP on November 21, Raghd’s creative momentum shows no sign of slowing. That same day, she’ll co-headline Dunya Fest in Gothenburg alongside James Massiah, Boko Yout, and Natanya, before heading on a European tour that spans cities from London to Prague. Her debut album, currently in the works with collaborators Chords and outrovert (Swedish House Mafia, Salvatore Ganacci), is due fall 2026.
Already receiving much praise for her artistry, Raghd is a master of her own narrative. She's an artist who moves fluidly between genres, moods, and mediums while staying completely in control. In an era of overproduction and collaboration overload, she’s proof that singular vision still cuts through the noise.
