Patti Rayne's Website

Singer, songwriter, actress: Patti Rayne has been many
people in many cities. Originally from Louisiana, Patti has
been exploring sound and stage in Houston, New York,
Boston and now Los Angeles. In Houston, she was the girl
who sang the national anthem for 16,000 in the Summit for
more than a dozen Rockets basketball games preceding
their championship victories! She won several small awards
for songwriting, including Best Folk Solo Artist from the
Houston Press and she'll never forget a $3,000 Karaoke
championship victory ... but she'll sure try. She was also in
two movies ("E.L.M." and "Mock This"), a commercial, and
several plays.

One day, Patti went to a musical theatre audition in New
York for a new play, "Don't Tell Mama," and landed one of
the lead roles! It just so happened that the play would
premiere in Houston and later move on to Los Angeles,
taking Patti with it. Backstage magazine raved about her
performance: "Rayne has a clear, strong voice that swells
with emotional vulnerability..."

The play left L.A.; she stayed and the song "Dandelion"
was born -- a metaphor for love in that the flower seems so
fragile and temporary when it is blown away, yet it proves
to be eternal and strong because the fragments are
carried to new places to start again and again. "Dandelion"
won first prize in the H.A.R.C. foundation's National
Songwriting Contest as recently announced in Billboard
magazine.

Patti is currently working on several projects:

Self-produced titled demo, "Looks Like Rayne"
