About Raney

Musician, producer, beat-maker, songwriter, and composer Raney Antoine, Jr placed his stake in music at age 7 playing drums in his grandfather’s church. His rhythmic roots grew over to melody at age 12, moving to piano as his primary instrument. Gospel, rhythm and blues, hip-hop, and other black soul genres occupy Raney’s musical palette for melody, rhythm, and message.

As a producer, collaboration with talented artists is the only requirement. As a composer, creating feel through sound is the only goal. No matter the genre or venue, Raney’s goal is to create memorable experiences. As an educator, his goal is to demystify both the craft and industry of music. Raney is currently a Professor of Practice of Hip-Hop and R&B at Loyola University New Orleans. His debut producer-artist album is coming soon.
