"It is the sweetest, scathing attack imaginable, which is always a wonderful trick. The schism between the delicate, danceable music and the lyrical assault, create a pleasant discord in ones consciousness to find you smiling as Lydia lets loose on an ex that may well tend toward sociopathy or at the very least, emotional unavailability.

Rae Not Lydia

A Message Through Music

Rae began their music career as "Rae Lydia" when they released their debut EP "Gravitas" in 2016, a  collection of four songs that tackle the earnest yet intimidating topics of depression, student debt, and life after death. 
Since then, Rae has come out as non-binary, someone who is neither male nor female. Maintaining the standard of honesty with their fans, Rae came out as Rae Not Lydia, a name chosen with the support of their fans and closest friends. 
Today, Rae is continuously writing and performing throughout their regional Arizona scene, from historical venues like The Rhythm Room to cult classic festivals like Sidepony Music Festival in Bisbee.
Ultimately, Rae's message through their music is that none of us are alone.
