RAII and Whitney Keaton are not your typical recording artists. Although many young entertainers write, perform and sing; very few have had the opportunity to do so while sharing some of the world’s biggest stages with some of the most renowned stars...and their significant other.

That is the case of RAII and Whitney Keaton, who married in August of 2010 in RAII’s hometown of Chicago. Having met several years earlier, the two crossed paths during RAII’s years as an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois. Whitney, an Urbana-Champaign native, met RAII when he joined her as a member of a local gospel music ensemble. They would spend the next five years traveling, performing, writing and arranging music together. Eventually, the pair noticed that their personal, professional and romantic interests had a significant overlap.

Beginning in 2012, RAII joined Whitney Keaton as a member of the Alicia Keys band. Together, the husband and wife team joined Alicia as her sole supporting vocalists. In the process of their touring, each is finding time to work on their respective solo careers. They are currently writing and recording original music for various upcoming projects and are excited to share their music with the world.
