RaidR X Lips Unsealed Interview

Lips Unsealed: Who is RaidR? ( a little bgd info: location, founding year, etc) Who does the group include?

RaidR: RaidR is a pop/r&b super group, currently living in LA, founded 3 years ago. The group includes 3 sisters… Bobbie Riley, 16, Taja Riley, 19, Deja Riley, 22…

Lips Unsealed: What got you guys started, and made you decide to want to pursue singing a career as a group?

RaidR: We've been singing, dancing, and acting since the age of 6 together and have always had an unspoken bond performing. 3 Years ago we decided to go for our dreams together and unite as one, perfect our talents, and shock the world.

Lips Unsealed: What is currently in the works for the group?

RaidR: We are currently recording, in rehearsals, and continuing to perfect our talents until we release!

Lips Unsealed: Unlike other groups made up of members who were put together, do you think being actual siblings is going to help in RaidR’s success?

RaidR: Yes, i think it does. We have great chemistry while we are working. I think it brings us all closer together, Just motivating each other and just knowing that we are all so determined and dedicated. Theres no one I'd rather work with then my sisters! This experience has been quite a roller coaster so far but having each other we never feel alone!

Lips Unsealed: Having a very well known father (their father is producer Teddy Riley) in this industry, do you guys find that as an advantage or disadvantage?

RaidR: The advantages are that we have a Dad! We don't really look to him or depend on him to get us where we need to go, We just look at him as our Dad, We come to him for advice sometimes and to let him hear what we've been working on. He is a great mentor when we need one, He has a great ear, and it makes us so happy to see him proud of us doing this on our own! The disadvantage would have to be that we are perceived as girls born with silver spoons in our mouth and we don't work for anything, which isn't the case at all. Our Dad has been nothing more than our Dad on this project. We have gotten this far completely on our own and we hope that people can see that through our work!

Lips Unsealed: What’s a normal day for you ladies like?

RaidR: Our days are never normal, were always doing something new. Especially with three different personalities there is just never a dull moment!

Lips Unsealed: Your ages vary, does that ever serve as a difficulty when it comes to songs. As far as subject matter or writing goes?

RaidR: No, We have great chemistry when we write together. We have a great formula we are forming!

Lips Unsealed: Who are your biggest musical inspirations?

RaidR: Sister Sledge, The Surpremes, Total TLC, Blaque… All of the super groups before us.

Lips Unsealed: Who’s your target audience?

RaidR: The world! We want to reach everyone! Especially the women, we want to empower them….

Lips Unsealed: Describe your style? (This can be as a whole, or individually)

RaidR: Taja is more tom-boy, rebellious with her style. Very "Boy George"

Deja is more sexy and sophisticated with her style. Like… "Kim Kardashian"

Bobbie is more cutesy, funky and ecclectic with her style. Like a…. "Katy Perry"

As one they have formed their own style that is very innovative and new….

Lips Unsealed: What’s one word that describes the group?

RaidR: SuperHeroines

Lips Unsealed: What’s one word that describes you all individually?

RaidR: Taja: TomBoy

Deja: Business Woman

Bobbie: Little Princess

Lips Unsealed: Have any advice for people wanting to pursue a career in music, or dream chasers in general? When can we expect some releases?

RaidR: Practice! No matter how good you are practice! Get a vocal coach, get in dance classes, take on instruments! Never give up this is a rough business but with determination, drive and dedication it will steer you in the right direction. It is all coming to you very soon don't worry!
