Rak-Su began as a group of friends from Watford, England, who went to school together and later decided to pursue music. The current lineup—Myles, Ashley, and Jamaal—are of African and Caribbean descent, and their cultural heritage shines through in their sound. They blend elements of Afrobeats, house, baile funk, and pop to create their unique style. With over 131,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Rak-Su continues to make an impact with their vibrant, genre-crossing music.
Rak-Su is known for creating feel-good music filled with positive energy, good vibes, and a fun sound. While the group initially rose to fame after winning the 14th season of The X Factor in 2017, they’ve successfully continued their musical journey beyond the show. Their previous singles, including the reggaeton hit “Dimelo,” have charted high—reaching number 2 on the Official UK Singles Chart and the UK Top 50 Daily Chart on Spotify. Rak-Su has built a solid reputation with dynamic live performances, whether headlining their own tours, performing at major events, or opening for artists like Little Mix.
