RAPHA is a 23-year-old rising pop artist from Belgium with Congolese roots. After winning MNM Rising Star (2020) and Soundtrack (2023), she released her debut EP Circus in May. Circus tells the story of the “clown of the group”: the one who keeps everyone laughing while quietly struggling on the inside. With each track, RAPHA lets the mask slip further, revealing the self-doubt and healing beneath.
She is currently working on new music set for release in 2026. Inspired by Olivia Rodrigo, Rachel Chinouriri, Ravyn Lenae and Billie Eilish, RAPHA creates honest, vulnerable pop about the messiness of growing up, mental health, and identity.
