KXPB Artists

On Friday September 6 2024 Raegan Leilani was the first artist to participate in the KXPB Airplay initiative. It was well received by our listeners and we will be adding her music to our library and including a couple of her songs in the KXPB auto playlist.

​

Raegan Leilani is a dynamic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, blending Neo-jazz and alt-pop with a diverse range of musical influences. She has been writing music since 2016 and began recording and producing in 2022, following a short recording apprenticeship with Pierre Ferguson of Foundry Studios. Raegan continues to record her music alongside Pierre and his expertise, creating a sound that is both unique and reflective of her personal journey.

Raegan’s classical background—having played clarinet in high school and middle school band for seven years—has deeply influenced how she leads her band today. “Band was one of the best experiences of my life and definitely informed how I run my band,” she says. Her bandmates, Robert Keene and Craig Cootsona, are crucial to bringing her vision to life. Robert, a versatile keys and bass player, lends his genre-bending expertise, while Craig, a highly sought-after jazz and funk drummer, provides the rhythmic backbone that drives their sound.

Raegan’s music captivates audiences with its smooth, jazz-tinged vocals and evocative melodies, transporting listeners to nostalgic places and emotions. Her unique soundscape is a deeply personal exploration of memories and feelings, offering an unforgettable musical experience!
